``gc.freeze()`` is a new API that allows for moving all objects currently
tracked by the garbage collector to a permanent generation, effectively
removing them from future collection events. This can be used to protect
those objects from having their PyGC_Head mutated. In effect, this enables
great copy-on-write stability at fork().

``gc.freeze()`` is a new API that allows for moving all objects currently
tracked by the garbage collector to a permanent generation, effectively
removing them from future collection events. This can be used to protect
those objects from having their PyGC_Head mutated. In effect, this enables
great copy-on-write stability at fork().

Rename IDLE's module browser from Class Browser to Module Browser.
The original module-level class and method browser became a module
browser, with the addition of module-level functions, years ago.
Nested classes and functions were added yesterday. For back-
compatibility, the virtual event <<open-class-browser>>, which
appears on the Keys tab of the Settings dialog, is not changed.
