I presume there's nothing in the Python spec that says so, since
object() doesn't satisfy this. Is that what you mean?

To me it seems obviously useful that this was satisfied across all
mathematical objects. The decorator @func_persist -- which is totally
broken right now because of this btw -- is an example of it.

Also, I found this behaviour very surprising, and my guess is that
others would as well - except the pure Python geeks perhaps.

Would it be extremely difficult to attempt to satisfy this?

Best,
Johan
