It's not just caches and counters. It's also every built-in type structure, builtin module, builtin function... any Python object that's a built-in, period. That includes things like None, True, and False.

Sure - but those things don't get modified that often, except for their reference count. In addition, they are objects, and Justin seems to believe that things are easier if they are objects.

Regards, Martin
