+- Issue #8567: Fix precedence of signals in Decimal module: when a
+ Decimal operation raises multiple signals and more than one of those
+ signals is trapped, the specification determines the order in which
+ the signals should be handled. In many cases this order wasn't
+ being followed, leading to the wrong Python exception being raised.

- Issue #7865: The close() method of :mod:`io` objects should not swallow
exceptions raised by the implicit flush(). Also ensure that calling
close() several times is supported. Patch by Pascal Chambon.
