+
+Convert IDLE's built-in 'extensions' to regular features.
+
+About 10 IDLE features were implemented as supposedly optional extensions.
+Their different behavior could be confusing or worse for users and not good
+for maintenance.  Hence the conversion.
+
+The main difference for users is that user configurable key bindings for
+builtin features are now handled uniformly.  Now, editing a binding in a
+keyset only affects its value in the keyset.  All bindings are defined
+together in the system-specific default keysets in config-extensions.def.
+All custom keysets are saved as a whole in config-extension.cfg.  All take
+effect as soon as one clicks Apply or Ok.
+
+The affected events are '<<force-open-completions>>', '<<expand-word>>',
+'<<force-open-calltip>>', '<<flash-paren>>', '<<format-paragraph>>',
+'<<run-module>>', '<<check-module>>', and '<<zoom-height>>'.  Any (global)
+customizations made before 3.6.3 will not affect their keyset-specific
+customization after 3.6.3. and vice versa.
+

+gdb integration commands (py-bt, etc.) work on optimized shared builds now,

+PyEval_EvalFrameEx on non-debug shared builds.  This broke the ability to
