Re: [Python-Dev] instancemethod_getattro seems to be partially wrong

Guido says:

I guess it's my anti-Scheme attitude. I just think the problem is in the deeply nested structures. There usually is a less nested data structure that doesn't have the problem.

and then he says:

Well, unclear. Frame chains make sense as chains because they are reference-counted individually.

which surely goes to show that sometimes it *does* make sense to use a deeply nested structure?
