documented and tested. I don't think anyone will let that hold up your patch, although everyone probably should.

Of course, it would be easy to write the little bit of LaTeX needed to document the new function. It would have the added benefit that I'd need to document the rest of the PyMarshal_*() functions so the new function would have a place to be listed. Or all sorts of PyMarshal_*() functions could magically grow a leading underscore. ;-) Guido, were all of these really intended to be public, or can the list be trimmed back? They really only appear to be used in import.c and pythonrun.c, with the module init also appear in PC/config.c and Modules/config.c.in (and the generated Modules/config.c).
