Tracing output is included in the program behavior?
For example, if two code block is completely equal:
if a == 1:
very very
long
code block
elif a == 2:
very very
long
code block
This code can be translated into like this (pseudo code):
if a == 1:
goto block1
if a == 2:
goto block1
block1:
very very
long
code block
But if we merge two equal code blocks, we can not produce precise line
numbers, can we?
Is this inconsistent microoptimization that real optimization harder?
This optimization must be prohibited in future Python?
