Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

The python small ints are immortal with a fixed reference count. For that reason these objects can never reach reference count zero and are never deallocated. We can remove the special casing in long_dealloc. For safety we replace the check with an assert.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
