[issue2488] Backport sys.maxsize to Python 2.6

[A.M. Kuchling]

A.M. Kuchling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

Oh, and I don't understand Raymond's comment: sys.maxsize isn't an 
alias for anything, but a new piece of information (the largest size of 
containers).  Maybe that information isn't useful, or 2.6 doesn't 
always support containers up to that limit, but sys.maxsize doesn't 
seem to be merely a renaming of something.

Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

FWIW, I don't see how backports like this add any value at all. The 2-
to-3 tool handles renaming well, but a backport just creates a hodge-
podge of aliases making the language harder to learn and harder to grep.
