- Bug #1683368: The object.__init__() and object.__new__() methods are
now stricter in rejecting excess arguments. The only time when either allows excess arguments is when it is not overridden and the other one is. For backwards compatibility, when both are overridden, it is a deprecation warning (for now; maybe a Py3k warning later). When merging this into 3.0, the warnings should become errors. Note: without the change to string.py, lots of spurious warnings happen. What's going on there?
