Do not start API descriptions with "Does the same, but ..." -- actually
state *which* other function the current one is like, even if the
descriptions are adjacent.
Revise the _PyTuple_Resize() description to reflect the removal of the
third parameter.

Can be used to resize a tuple. \var{newsize} will be the new length
of the tuple. Because tuples are \emph{supposed} to be immutable,
this should only be used if there is only one reference to the object.
Do \emph{not} use this if the tuple may already be known to some other
-part of the code. The tuple will always grow or shrink at the end. The
-\var{last_is_sticky} flag is not used and should always be false. Think
