- Some easy sanity checking due to the tiny redundancy (if the byte
immediately following the current frame is not a FRAME opcode, the pickle is corrupt; and also corrupt if a FRAME opcode is encountered _inside_ the current frame).
For efficient unpickling a FRAME opcode followed by 8-byte count should be *last* thing in a frame (unless it is a last frame).
I don't understand that. Clearly the framing is the weakest point of the PEP (== elicits the most bikeshedding). I am also unsure about the value of framing when pickles are written to strings. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
