- Removed FutureWarnings related to hex/oct literals and conversions
and left shifts. (Thanks to Kalle Svensson for SF patch 849227.) This addresses most of the remaining semantic changes promised by PEP 237, except for repr() of a long, which still shows the trailing 'L'. The PEP appears to promise warnings for operations that changed semantics compared to Python 2.3, but this is not implemented; we've suffered through enough warnings related to hex/oct literals and I think it's best to be silent now.

- For str and unicode objects, the ljust(), center(), and rjust()
methods now accept an optional argument specifying a fill
character other than a space.
