Hello Mark,

I think the PEP should explain what happens when a keys table needs resizing when setting an object's attribute. If the object is the only instance of a class, it remains split, otherwise the table is combined.

Hi Mark,

Answering on-list is fine, but please do add such answers to the PEP when requested.

I have such a question also: why does it provide storage for the value slot in the keys array, where this slot is actually not used?

Regards, Martin
