I have long had a version of dis.py which imports opcode info from
a separate opcodes.py.  Perhaps it's time to make that change.  opcodes.py
could then be mostly generated automatically from Include/opcode.h.

(The reason for separating this out is to make opcode info available to
other modules, like peephole optimizers.)

Should I submit a patch?
