[New-bugs-announce] [issue46881] Statically allocate and initialize the latin1 characters.

[Kumar Aditya]

New submission from Kumar Aditya <rahuladitya303 at gmail.com>:

Statically allocate and initialize the latin1 characters. This *should* make iterating over a ascii strings faster as it avoids an atomic read in PyInterpreterState_GET() to get unicode state in get_latin1_char, makes get_latin1_char branchless and can be used in deepfreeze for identifiers.
