It's always worked, there's substantial code in the wild that depends on it, and AFAICT it doesn't cause any real harm, so to me it seems like the only possible conclusion is that CPython will continue to guarantee this. For this argument I don't think it matters whether it was originally intentional, or whether there's some other alternative that people could use in theory. -n -- Nathaniel J.
