[issue27724] PEP3119 inconsintent with actual CPython impl

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

Presumably when the implementation was done the IS_ABSTRACT name sounded more logical than just ABSTRACT. Since the PEP doesn't *specify* the name of this flag[1] I see no reason to change anything. Closing.

_____
[1] The PEP mentions this flag exactly once:

    (If this were implemented in CPython, an internal flag
    ``Py_TPFLAGS_ABSTRACT`` could be used to speed up this check [6]_.)
