Another question, what was the rationale for setting module globals to None instead of simply deleting them (and getting the expected AttributeErrors both at C and at Python level) ?
Or, given cyclic GC, why isn't it enough to clear sys.modules? In theory, shouldn't that make all modules (and thier globals) collectable unless there are threads hanging on to them?
