Possibly related is the discovery of free variables (used
when forming closures) and optimized-out codeblocks:
>>> def foo(x):
... def bar():
... if 0:
... print x
... return bar
In 2.4, there is no closure:
>>> foo.func_code.co_cellvars
()
>>> foo(5).func_closure
>>>
In 2.5, there is:
>>> foo.func_code.co_cellvars
('x',)
>>> foo(5).func_closure

(I don't think it's unreasonable to declare the old
behaviour bugged, though :-)
