    Should singledispatchmethod and cached_property be added?

    What's New in Python 3.8:

    • functools.singledispatchmethod is missing
      https://docs.python.org/dev/library/functools.html#functools.singledispatchmethod

    • About "Added new multiprocessing.shared_memory module. (Contributed by Davin Potts in bpo-35813.)". Comment on Hacker News: "Hard to understand why this is so far down. This is fantastic news!" and "Shared Memory is the star of this release IMHO." I agree with that :-)

    • Maybe PYTHONCACHEPREFIX should be better highlighted? "Anyone else most excited about PYTHONCACHEPREFIX? :-P" and "Not sure about most excited, but I am looking forward to setting PYTHONCACHEPREFIX to a location that isn't in a volume mounted into my Docker container for development."

    Todos for the next round:

    • consider an entry for argparse's extend option
    • example for multiprocessing shared memory
    • Move C major API changes to its own section
    • Edit-out very minor changes so that the
      bigger wins are more salient
