+- Issue #10827: Changed the rules for 2-digit years. The time.asctime
+ function will now format any year when ``time.accept2dyear`` is
+ false and will accept years >= 1000 otherwise. The year range
+ accepted by ``time.mktime`` and ``time.strftime`` is still system
+ dependent, but ``time.mktime`` will now accept full range supported
+ by the OS. Conversion of 2-digit years to 4-digit is deprecated.

obmalloc in a small constant time, independent of the number of arenas
obmalloc controls. Since this test is needed at every entry point, it's
extremely desirable that it be this fast.

+Since Py_ADDRESS_IN_RANGE may be reading from memory which was not allocated
+by Python, it is important that (POOL)->arenaindex is read only once, as
+another thread may be concurrently modifying the value without holding the
+GIL. To accomplish this, the arenaindex_temp variable is used to store
+(POOL)->arenaindex for the duration of the Py_ADDRESS_IN_RANGE macro's
+execution. The caller of the macro is responsible for declaring this
+variable.
