No, no, *obviously* Paul meant that "import cyclicgc" should configure
and compile a new Python interpreter with "--with-cycle-gc" and 'exec()'
it for you.  What else would it mean?

(PS. if this were Perl, you could say

   use cyclegc;

to turn it on, and then elsewhere in your code

   no cyclegc;

to turn it off.  Maybe Python needs an "unimport" command?)

(Kidding!)
