He suggested(*) all the constants unmarshalled as part of loading a module should be

Cool idea. I may mention it in the PEP as a possibility. Thanks!
That is not so cool if for some reason an application routinely loads
and unloads modules.
Do applications do that for some reason? Python module reloading is
already so marginal, I thought hardly anybody did it.
Anyway, my admittedly-dim understanding is that COW is most helpful for
the "pre-fork" server model, and I bet those folks never bother to
unload modules.
