New submission from Inada Naoki <songofaca...@gmail.com>:

```
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyLong_FromUnicodeObject(PyObject *u, int base)

   Convert a sequence of Unicode digits in the string *u* to a Python integer
   value.  The Unicode string is first encoded to a byte string using
   :c:func:`PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal` and then converted using
   :c:func:`PyLong_FromString`.
```

PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal is not used actually.
It uses private and undocumented `_PyUnicode_TransformDecimalAndSpaceToASCII` 
function instead.

The document of PyFloat_FromString() doesn't mention about how it convert 
unicode string to digits. Let's remove the second sentence.
