I'll work on a patch. Should I post it to bugs.python.org?
Since Python 3.6 may get a new bytecode format (wordcode, see the other thread on this mlailing list), I think that it's ok to change MAKE_FUNCTION in the same release.
Wordcode looks like pure win from (projected) 25% bytecode size reduction alone.

Yep.

CPU performance is more the worry here (which looks mostly unaffected, maybe even faster), but reduced .pyc files is a nice perk. :)
