…honGH-114642) nedbat took issue with the phrasing "real module". I'm actually fine with that phrasing, but I do think the `__future__` page should be clear about the way in which the `__future__` module is special. (Yes, there was a footnote linking to the future statements part of the reference, but there should be upfront discussion). I'm sympathetic to nedbat's claim that no one really cares about `__future__._Feature`, so I've moved the interesting table up to the top.
