frozenset() without arguments should return a singleton

Hi!

frozenset() doesn't behave as the other immutable empty data types in 2.4:

..>>> '' is ''
True
..>>> () is ()
True
..>>> frozenset() is frozenset()
False

..>>> id(()),id(())
(1077579820, 1077579820)
..>>> id(())
1077579820
..>>> id(frozenset()) ,id(frozenset() )
(1077581296, 1077581296)
..>>> id(frozenset())
1077581440
..>>> id(frozenset(() ))
1077582256

frozenset() called without arguments (or on empty sequences) should always
return a singleton object. It is immutable, so I can see no reason why it
should take up more resources than necessary.

Sorry, bad title. Anyway, is there a way to pass the arguments to an object instantiated via a constructor using the arguments object and have it expanded, so to speak, so that it doesn't appear as a single argument? I'm sorry, this explanation is just atrocious, but I can't think of exactly how to word it. Maybe an example... Take for instance Function.apply. It takes 1-2 arguments, the first being the object to use as the context, and...

I have released interval-0.2.1 at http://members.cox.net/apoco/interval/. IntervalSet and FrozenIntervalSet objects are now (as far as I can tell) functionality equivalent to set and frozenset objects, except they can contain intervals as well as discrete values. Though I have my own unit tests for verifying this claim, I'd like to run my code through actual set and frozenset unit tests. Does any such code exist? Is it in pure...

Hi, I've done some progress in writing a rather simple singleton template. However, I need a smart way to pass constructor arguments via the template. I've been suggested reading "Modern C++ Design" or similar books, but I feel there are full of clever guys here who could help me out.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
