__future__ feature descriptions and CO_ C macros were documented in prose, but lacked Sphinx markup that marked them as Python attributes and C macros. For example:

  • Searching for “nested scopes” yields full-text results only
  • Searching for “CO_GENERATOR” yields “inspect.CO_GENERATOR (Python data, in inspect — Inspect live objects)”, but no C API.

This affects users of the Intersphinx inventory as well.

This patch adds the Sphinx definintions, and puts them in list-tables to make the ReST more maintainabile.

Sorry, @encukou, I could not cleanly backport this to 3.13 due to a conflict.
Please backport using cherry_picker on command line.
