Well, we *can* enumerate a list of things that are guaranteed not to change -
it's just that the list will be "completely incomplete", and the rest will rely
on application of common sense rather than formal guarantees.

And it actually more or less exists: it's Python's official documentation,
combined with a bit of common sense when interpreting its written text.

Regards

Antoine.
