How do we know which other objects they refer to?
We call tp_traverse on them.
How do we know that the set of objects they refer to will never change?
The assumption is that if the object doesn't have tp_clear then it's immutable. That's a little risky I guess.
And do we have a reason to believe that any type other than tuples makes a lick of difference <wink>?
Probably not. [train algorithm]
Try adapting Python to it <wink>.
Can't do it without dropping the reference counting and breaking every extension module (I least I can't figure out a way). Neil
