New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr>:
User code is currently allowed to rebind the gc.garbage attribute, while the
"real" garbage list in the GC module actually remains the same. This is
counter-intuitive and allows to write apparently correct code such as:
gc.garbage = []
while it should really be:
gc.garbage[:] = []
