I don't think it's worth supporting yet.  I'd like to improve the
interface and make it a bit less implementation specific.  Do you have
any ideas on that subject?

I think it should.  I've discussed this with Guido a few times.  IIRC,
he does intend for it work this way.

I wonder if assignments to __debug__ should trigger a warning.
