- The IO routines now raise ``EOFError`` for the "end of file" condition.
``EOFError`` is a subtype of ``IOError`` and so it's easier to distinguish
between "error during read" and "error due to EOF".
- A hash procedure has been added for ``cstring`` type in ``hashes`` module.
Previously, hash of a ``cstring`` would be calculated as a hash of the
pointer. Now the hash is calculated from the contents of the string, assuming
``cstring`` is a null-terminated string. Equal ``string``s and ``cstring``s
produce equal hash value.
