Do you know if any of the commenters is Nagle himself (and if so,
which)? The discussion is hard to follow since the context of replies
isn't always clear. There also seems to be a bunch of C++ thinking
(and some knee-jerk responses by people who aren't actually all that
familiar with Python) although I admit I don't have much of an
intuition about memory models for fully free threading myself. It's a
brave new world...
