After further analysis it turns out it doesn't quite work that way.
Instead I it works like I described here on this issue:
https://github.com/PythonCharmers/python-future/issues/27
I think it'd be interesting to support behavior like this in Stackless
2.8, as it would I think be of genuine benefit to smoothen the upgrade
path to Python 3.x code.
