The other is the addition of a new help() built-in function, which gives human-readable information about whatever object it's given. Currently it shows a little information about functions and programs, and not much else; the intent is that it can be expanded at will, since it's purely human-readable. There is no backwards-compatibility guarantee about its specific output format.
