This work is the result of ~1.5 years of development effort, much of it 
accomplished at the last two core dev sprints.  The code behind it has been 
stable since September 2018 and tested as an independently installable package 
by multiple people.

I was encouraged by Lukasz, Yury, and others to check in this code early, not 
waiting for tests and docs, in order to both solicit more feedback and provide 
for broader testing.  I understand that doing such a thing is not at all a 
novelty.  Thankfully it is doing that -- I hope that feedback remains 
constructive and supportive.

There are some tests to be found in a branch (enh-tests-shmem) of 
github.com/applio/cpython which I think should become more comprehensive before 
inclusion.  Temporarily deferring and not including them as part of the first 
alpha should reduce the complexity of that release.

Regarding the BSD license on the C code being adopted, my conversations with 
Brett and subsequently Van have not raised concerns, far from it -- there is a 
process which is being followed to the letter.  If there are other reasons to 
object to the thoughtful adoption of code licensed like this one, that deserves 
a decoupled and larger discussion first.
