*** New function `special-variable-p' to check whether a variable is
declared as dynamically bound.
** Emacs integers have a wider range on typical 32-bit hosts.
Previously, they were limited to a 30-bit range (-2**29 .. 2**29-1).
Now, they are limited to a 62-bit range (-2**61 .. 2**61-1), the
same as on 64-bit hosts. This increased range comes from the Emacs
interpreter using 64-bit native integer types that are available
on typical modern 32-bit platforms. Older 32-bit hosts that lack
64-bit integers have the same 30-bit range as before.
** pre/post-command-hook are not reset to nil upon error.
Instead, the offending function is removed.
