[Python-Dev] Deletion order when leaving a scope?

I just ran a quickie experiment and determined: when leaving a scope, 
variables are deleted FIFO, aka in the same order they were created.  
This surprised me; I'd expected them to be deleted LIFO, aka last 
first.  Why is it thus?  Is this behavior an important feature or an 
irrelevant side-effect?

Cheers,
