I'm also wondering why this problem has not been addressed before? If I had the power to change Python, this would be the first thing I did.

Try coming up with a patch. I expect it would be considered provided that it was maximally backwards compatible with the existing C API and did not reduce performance on benchmarks like pystone.

That is to say, sure it would be nice, but at what cost?
