[issue45781] Deleting __debug__ should be an SyntaxError

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

For comparison:

True = 0
SyntaxError: cannot assign to True
del True
SyntaxError: cannot delete True

It almost seems like __debug__ is a hidden keyword value, but with a startup-dependent value
