Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

+1 Though this is a rather large and impactful patch, I think it is a great idea.  It will be one of the highest payoff applications of FASTCALL, broadly benefitting a lot of code.

Let's be sure to be extra careful with this one because it is touching central parts of the language, so any errors or subtle behavior changes will be felt by a lot of code, some of which is sure to hit the rare corner cases and to rely on implementation details.
