Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
The DELETE_DEREF opcode can be removed and deletion implemented by the sequence:
LOAD_DEREF POP_TOP PUSH_NULL STORE_DEREF
This would free up an opcode, and, since deletion of non-locals variables is practically never used, there is no cost to doing this.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
