uncompyle6 2.9.6 2016-12-04

- Shorten Python3 grammars with + and *

uncompyle6 2.9.6 2016-11-20

- Correct MANIFEST.in
- More AST grammar checking
- --linemapping option or linenumbers.line_number_mapping()

  For 2.7 things are just shuffled around a little. Sigh.
  Overall I think we are getting more precise in
  or analysis even if it is not always reflected
  in the results.
