Sure, but "leaks" caused by deep-freezing cannot be solved by freeing up the deep-frozen memory -- the solution must be to update the accounting somewhere.

Where is the existence of Py_None accounted for (since it's statically allocated, or at least used to be)? That's likely where we'd have to do something about the deep-frozen objects.
