  Core and builtins
  
+ - Slices and repetitions of buffer objects now consistently return
+   a string.  Formerly, strings would be returned most of the time,
+   but a buffer object would be returned when the repetition count
+   was one or when the slice range was all inclusive.
+ 
  - The __slots__ variable can now mention "private" names, and the
    right thing will happen (e.g. __slots__ = ["__foo"]).
