Much excitement! One of the things I like best about this change is that it actually makes it easier for alternative implementations to use a simpler frame object without having to emulate CPython semantics (I'd love to get to a place where bug-for-bug compatibility wasn't required, but this is where we are right now so shrug).

Thanks Nick for getting this through!

A bientôt, Armin
