Usually, we use semi-colon punctuation mark to connect closely related
ideas. Sentences which are after semicolon, begins with small letter,
and last sentence always ends with a period mark, see "Garner's Modern
American Usage" book for more information about usage of punctuation
mark. So removing punctuation mark altogether is a good idea, as
@gnikonorov suggested [1].

For decorated functions, the lineno of the FunctionDef AST node points
to the `def` line, not to the first decorator line. On the other hand,
in code objects, the `co_firstlineno` points to the first decorator
line.
Assertion rewriting inserts some imports to code it rewrites. The
imports are inserted at the lineno of the first statement in the AST. In
turn, the code object compiled from the rewritten AST uses the lineno of
the first statement (which is the first inserted import).
This means that given a module like this,
```py
@foo
@bar
def baz(): pass
```
the lineno of the code object without assertion rewriting
(`--assertion=plain`) is 1, but with assertion rewriting it is 3.
And *this* causes some issues for the exception repr when e.g. the
decorator line is invalid and raises during collection. The code becomes
confused and crashes with
INTERNALERROR> File "_pytest/_code/code.py", line 638, in get_source
INTERNALERROR> lines.append(space_prefix + source.lines[line_index].strip())
INTERNALERROR> IndexError: list index out of range
Fix it by special casing decorators. Maybe there are other cases like
this but off hand I can't think of another Python construct where the
lineno of the item would be after its first line, and this is the only
such issue we have had reported.
- be more vague about "packaging metadata" over explicitly mentioning `setup.py`
(such that `pyproject.toml`-based distributions are allowed)
- drop extensions on `README.txt` / `LICENSE.txt` (it's more common to have `.md`
/ `.rst` / no extension)
- remove duplicate mention of license packaging metadata
The release-on-comment script is always executed on *master*, so we should
execute the `release.py` script using tox to ensure we create the
right environment.
Also fixed errors in the error handling code.
When a name is exported from `pytest`, prefer to refer to it by that
rather than its `_pytest` import path. It is shorter and more
appropriate in user-facing documentation (although that's not really
visible).
Our plan is to expose more names for typing purposes, in which can this
could be more comprehensive.
Before, `PluginManager` was a copy of the pluggy doc, and
`PytestPluginManager` was documented separately.
pytest users only really need to know about `PytestPluginManager`, so
instead of splitting have the `PytestPluginManager` documentation
include all of `PluginManager` members and remove `PluginManager` from
the reference (it is still shown as the base class).
