So just to be clear, is it something like this?
class object:
def __reduce__(self):
return copy_reg._reduce_ex(self, -1)
def __reduce_ex__(self, protocol):
return copy_reg._reduce_ex(self, protocol)
Does _reduce_ex's behavior actually change depending on the specified protocol
version? The only difference that I can see or think of is that an assert
causes it to fail if the protocol is >= 2.

So it is part of the public interface? It's exported in __all__, but it appears
that it's undocumented.
Thanks,
