+bpo-bpo-31414: Fix tk entry box tests by deleting first.
+Adding to an int entry is not the same as deleting and inserting
+because int('') will fail.  Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
+
+bpo-27099: Convert IDLE's built-in 'extensions' to regular features.
+  About 10 IDLE features were implemented as supposedly optional
+extensions.  Their different behavior could be confusing or worse for
+users and not good for maintenance.  Hence the conversion.
+  The main difference for users is that user configurable key bindings
+for builtin features are now handled uniformly.  Now, editing a binding
+in a keyset only affects its value in the keyset.  All bindings are
+defined together in the system-specific default keysets in config-
+extensions.def.  All custom keysets are saved as a whole in config-
+extension.cfg.  All take effect as soon as one clicks Apply or Ok.
+   The affected events are '<<force-open-completions>>',
+'<<expand-word>>', '<<force-open-calltip>>', '<<flash-paren>>',
+'<<format-paragraph>>', '<<run-module>>', '<<check-module>>', and
+'<<zoom-height>>'.  Any (global) customizations made before 3.6.3 will
+not affect their keyset-specific customization after 3.6.3. and vice
+versa.
+  Inital patch by Charles Wohlganger, revised by Terry Jan Reedy.
