@colesbury Did you want to keep the information from the old 3.13 FT build here?

Thanks for bringing this up. I think this needs to be reworked a bit more and we should limit it to 3.14. I don't think we need to discuss 3.13.

  • Immortalization: It's just code constants: numeric and string literals and tuple literals of those constants. Plus sys.intern
  • Frame objects: Should no longer crash, but we should verify this
  • Iterators: Should no longer crash

Hi @colesbury, thanks for the specific feedback.
I've just pushed a new, clean commit that addresses all your points:

  • The documentation has been refocused on 3.14, and the outdated 3.13 comparisons have been removed.

  • I've corrected the "Immortalization" section to match your clarification (limited to code constants, literals, and sys.intern).

  • The warnings about "Frame objects" and "Iterators" crashing have also been removed.

I have two little nitpicks regarding clarity. I don't consider them blocking, so feel free to ignore them if you want to.
