Overview of Changes

Here are the major changes brought by this release:

• Add a pre-commit hook for pyupgrade, a tool for upgrading your source code to newer versions of the Python language and standard library.

• Use the furo Sphinx theme for documentation. Furo is a clean customizable theme for technical documentation, with a focus on being responsive and easy to navigate and search.

• Include the test suite itself when measuring code coverage: tests are code. Read more about the reasons behind this on Ned Batchelder's blog.

• Enable color output on GitHub Actions for pytest, pre-commit, Sphinx, and xdoctest. Tools on GitHub Actions default to monochrome output, and every tool has its own convention for overriding this (if any). This was a fun ride.
