+- Issue #10968: Remove indirection in threading. The public names (Thread,
+ Condition, etc.) used to be factory functions returning instances of hidden
+ classes (_Thread, _Condition, etc.), because (if Guido recalls correctly) this
+ code pre-dates the ability to subclass extension types. It is now possible to
+ inherit from Thread and other classes, without having to import the private
+ underscored names like multiprocessing did.
+
+- Issue #9723: Add shlex.quote functions, to escape filenames and command
+ lines.

- Issue #12603: Fix pydoc.synopsis() on files with non-negative st_mtime.
