New submission from sgal :
In current Python document (3.7 - 3.9) there is such statement in documentation
of Integer Objects:
The current implementation keeps an array of integer objects for all integers
between ``-5`` and ``256``, when you create an int in that range you actually
just get back a reference to the existing object. So it should be possible to
change the value of ``1``. I suspect the behaviour of Python in this case is
undefined. :-)
The last sentence is vague. It is irresponsible to write "I suspect" in
documentation. And as the statements ahead has already clarified the sense that
this is "a current implementation", the last sentence should be removed.
