Well that's cool. The next question is...

Do all string constants which are lexically equivalent obey
the identity rule? IOW, does the python byte compiler know
how, upon compilation, to make two seperate instance of
"joe" point to the same single instance?

If so, what are the limits of the byte compiler at merging
string identities? For example, will eval() do a prepass
through the code and determine identity?
