I suggest to merge a 3.5 specific documentation fix for 
CALL_FUNCTION_VAR and CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW opcodes. There were 
undocumented changes in 3.5, and third-party projects which implement 
interpreting or generating these opcodes do it incorrectly. The behavior 
change was subtle, simple tests will not catch it.
