By the way, I wonder why the `_' in `sys._getframe()'.  Was it to mark that
this is a function giving access to internals?  If yes, this only increases
my wondering, since there are other functions in `sys' which give access
to internals, and which do not use such a `_' prefix.  I presume this
has been debated in the proper time, I was probably elsewhere and missed
the discussion.  Could the reason be summarised in one sentence? :-)
