If you want any kind of traction on this I recommend filing an opinionated issue on this (explaining why the current behavior is wrong).
Thanks - I'm asking from the point of view of trying to reimplement it. I don't actually have a strong opinion on whether the current behaviour is wrong - I'd just like to know if I should match it. From that point of view I've deviated from your advice slightly and created a PR instead to add a test for the current behaviour (https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/94500). Hopefully that'll either fix it is "intended" or stir up a different decision. I'm happy with either outcome. David
