Resurrection The process by which a finalizer creates a new reference to an object in a CI. This can happen as a quirky but supported side-effect of _del_ methods.

I really like the PEP overall, but could we at least get the option to have cases of object resurrection spit out a warning? And a clear rationale for not turning on such a warning by default?

Cheers, Nick.
