A possible starting list:
- impl name (with a view to further standardising the way we check for
impl specific tests in the regression test suite)
- impl version (official place to store the implementation version,
potentially independent of the language version as it already is in
PyPy)
- cache tag (replacement for imp.get_tag())
Cheers,
Nick.
