http://python.org/sf/1637022 points out a problem caused by the lack of a Py prefix on Ellipsis. Most (all?) of the new AST names are not prefixed. These are all meant to be internal names. Are there any issues with changing this? If we do so, it means that any module built with 2.5 that is using these names will fail to work in 2.5.1. No code outside the core should be using these names.

I'll look into this. I will create macros in the header file for them, so that existing source code will continue to compile.
