   That is a good change, but an interesting tidbit: in CPython this actually works properly because the interpreter will cache numeric constants and short string constants at compile time. So assigning a variable to the value of a small string actually just points it at the existing object. Since strings and numbers are immutable, this is totally safe. But it's wrong to rely on implementation quirks.
