I am really not opinionated on this one. I was just pointing out that choosing a non-obvious solution generally requires good reasons to do so. The marshal format compaction sounds like premature optimization, since nobody seems to have
formulated such a request.


Every time I've been bitten by the wrong co_filename values (usually from tracebacks), changing the way marshal creates code objects to use a values passed in has been the thing that made the most sense to me.

The feature request that's involved here, getting correct co_filename values, can be implemented in different ways, sure. This particular change produces the least impact in the because it *doesn't* change the mutability of code objects.

I for one appreciate that, mostly because I'm simply wary of making code objects mutable in this way having unexpected side effects in some library.
