Updated the patch. (Diff #2 apparently didn't apply cleanly, so we didn't get a review link.)
Old-guard core devs: I'm *really* desperate for a review of this patch. You don't have to review everything thing, just these files:
* Include/object.h
* Objects/descrobject.c
* Objects/methodobject.c
* Objects/typeobject.c
I can get a different reviewer for the other files. But I worry about touching these tender bits of the type system and I want to make sure that
a) I haven't done something awful, and
b) I haven't missed something important.
Just that part of the diff is 345 lines, and it's pretty regular. I'd be surprised if it took you a whole hour.
If you have any questions email me, I'd be thrilled to answer 'em if it means I can get this patch checked in. Maintaining the patch is overhead that I just don't need during the Derby.
