Log Message:
Check the type of values returned by __int__, __float__, __long__,
__oct__, and __hex__.  Raise TypeError if an invalid type is
returned.  Note that PyNumber_Int and PyNumber_Long can still
return ints or longs.  Fixes SF bug #966618.

  - Compiler now treats None as a constant.
  
+ - The type of values returned by __int__, __float__, __long__,
+   __oct__, and __hex__ are now checked.  Returning an invalid type
+   will cause a TypeError to be raised.  This matches the behavior of
+   Jython.
