[issue19533] Unloading docstrings from memory if -OO is given

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Hmm.  If I turn on gc debugging before the def, I don't see anything get collected.  If I allocate a series of new 10K strings, the memory keeps growing.  Of course, that could still be down to the vagaries of OS memory management.  Time to break out Victor's tracemalloc, but I probably don't have that much ambition today :)
