Ok, so there's an issue with that condition: it can't be upholded on
non-GC objects. Creating a non-GC object is quite obscure and rare,
though, since it requires basically a class with no __dict__ and an
empty __slots__:
class C:
__slots__ = ()
survivors = []
def __del__(self):
self.survivors.append(self)
In this case, a C instance's __del__ will be called every time
destruction is attempted, not only once. Is that a realistic problem?

Antoine.
