+  The API module 'stackless' used to expose a few debug/internal methods, which
+  can't be used safely in application code. The following names have been
+  removed from module 'stackless'. They are still available from 'stackless.
+  _stackless':
+  '_gc_track', '_gc_untrack', '_get_all_objects', '_get_refinfo', '_peek',
+  '_test_nostacklesscall', '_wrap', '_pickle_moduledict'.
+  The functions 'stackless.test_cframe_nr()' and 'stackless.test_outside()'
+  have been renamed to 'stackless._stackless._test_cframe_nr()' and 'stackless.
