Except that the magic number changed. Can we modify import.c so that it accepts the 2.3 magic number as well?

I believe it should correctly load and execute the old files, if that is what you are asking.

Apart from the two new bytecodes, marshal now also does the string interning. I don't know of any further changes to the format.
