Not sure about that... PEPs take a LOT of time :(

Besides, all my changes are CPython specific and
can be considered as an implementation detail.

I can write a ceval.txt file explaining what's going on
in ceval loop, with details on the opcode cache and other
things.  I think it's even better than a PEP, to be honest.
