You don't have to remember. Test the result of the function, it will not
give the expected output. I don't think that you need fuzzing or a
complex tool to detect that the new code doesn't behave correctly.

What? It's not a bug. Ading new non-tested code is a bug :-)

It makes Python faster (!) and make silent the Clang Static Analyzer :-)
