This is *great*.  When we looked at it, I'm pretty sure _getframe
wasn't available, but Jython has made enormous progress recently.  I'm
very, very happy to see this going in, because I remember at the time
we thought _getframe was going to be the real headache.  Readline was
problematic but it was clear it was being worked on and would
eventually work, but _getframe, being a semi-private API, was the
source of real concern.

Sometimes, just waiting a bit really does pay off :)

Thanks for the great news.  On to jipython!!!

Cheers,
