| Removes false positives seen when using Python 3.6, but not when using earlier versions. | ||
| The API has been improved to declutter the global namespace and improve discoverability and readability. | ||
| * New predicates `ModuleObject::named(name)` and `ModuleObject.attr(name)` have been added, allowing more readable access to common objects. For example, `(any ModuleObject m | m.getName() = "sys").getAttribute("exit")` can be replaced with `ModuleObject::named("sys").attr("exit")` | ||
| * The API for accessing builtin functions has been improved. Predicates of the form `theXXXFunction()`, such as `theLenFunction()`, have been deprecated in favour of `Object::builtin(name)`. |

Should this be US English favor instead?

This pull request is intended to finalize the change notes for Python 1.20. Much of the change is to bring information from the bottom of the page into the "General improvements" section at the top.
After discussion with Mark, I've reworded one section. I hope that I've avoided changing the meaning or introducing any errors.
@markshannon or @taus-semmle - do you have time to review these changes?
@jf205 - mostly for information.
