But would have to look up the actual number to enter them.
Imagine of ALL your source code had to be entered via code-point numbers.
BTW, you should be able to enable 'composing' under Linux too, just like
under

have a VERY hard time entering usable code if there tools support
Unicode, but use the other convention.

Why do you thing (1,'a') should be 'bigger' than (1, 'c'), or (2,'b')
bigger than (2,'d')?
Tuples don't sort on just the first element, but on all their elements
in order if the previous ones ar
execution of the program,
so that no other process could change the contents behind its back. I
think normal mmapping doesn't do this, but if that sort of lock is
available, then it probably should be used.

Yes, perhaps there is more of an expectation that __bool__() is

One comment about having the exception handler 'save state' and restore
it is that frequently the purpose of the exception handler is TO make
changes to outer variable to fix things up based on the exception.
I could see the desire of a way to create an internal scope of sorts and
create names lim
n is the object address. If some other
method was chosen for generating the object id, then by necessity, there
would need to be a method to let multiple interpreters keep the number
unique, perhaps some bits being reserved for an interpreter id, and the
rest be a serial number.
