Issue #17953: document that sys.modules shouldn't be replaced (thanks to interp->modules) and that deleting essential items from the dict can cause Python to blow up. Thanks to Terry Reedy for coming up with initial wording and Yogesh Chaudhari for coming up with a patch using that wording in parallel to my own patch. [#17953]
