Yep - I thought I'd seen something like this, but couldn't find it (eventually found it by searching for Lundh ;). That's exactly what I was thinking of. However, I'm also thinking that it's worthwhile to have aliases that state that this is being done for memory management - hence the idea of _PyArena_ADD (and probably _PyArena_REMOVE, which would have to do an identity removal). I'm taking some leave over Christmas/New Year, so I might have a look at some other parts of the python codebase and see if there are other areas that might benefit from using lists as arenas like this.
