Subject: Added -Qnew news about the test_coercion.py failure.  That's the only test
X-Git-Tag: v2.2.1c1~416

Added -Qnew news about the test_coercion.py failure.  That's the only test
that still fails under -Qnew, and is so tied to details of current
behavior that fixing it before new division becomes the default is
impractical.
