+combinerefs path
+
+A helper for analyzing PYTHONDUMPREFS output.
+
+When the PYTHONDUMPREFS envar is set in a debug build, at Python shutdown
+time Py_Finalize() prints the list of all live objects twice:  first it
+prints the repr() of each object while the interpreter is still fully intact.
+After cleaning up everything it can, it prints all remaining live objects
+again, but the second time just prints their addresses, refcounts, and type
+names (because the interpreter has been torn down, calling repr methods at
+this point can get into infinite loops or blow up).
+
+Save all this output into a file, then run this script passing the path to
+that file.  The script finds both output chunks, combines them, then prints
+a line of output for each object still alive at the end:
+
+    address refcnt typename repr
+
+address is the address of the object, in whatever format the platform C
+produces for a %p format code.
+
+refcnt is of the form
+
+    "[" ref "]"
+
+when the object's refcount is the same in both PYTHONDUMPREFS output blocks,
+or
+
+    "[" ref_before "->" ref_after "]"
+
+if the refcount changed.
+
+typename is object->ob_type->tp_name, extracted from the second PYTHONDUMPREFS
+output block.
+
+repr is repr(object), extracted from the first PYTHONDUMPREFS output block.
+CAUTION:  If object is a container type, it may not actually contain all the
+objects shown in the repr:  the repr was captured from the first output block,
+and some of the containees may have been released since then.  For example,
+it's common for the line showing the dict of interned strings to display
+strings that no longer exist at the end of Py_Finalize; this can be recognized
+(albeit painfully) because such containees don't have a line of their own.
+
+The objects are listed in allocation order, with most-recently allocated
+printed first, and the first object allocated printed last.
+
+
+Simple examples:
+
+    00857060 [14] str '__len__'
+
+The str object '__len__' is alive at shutdown time, and both PYTHONDUMPREFS
+output blocks said there were 14 references to it.  This is probably due to
+C modules that intern the string "__len__" and keep a reference to it in a
+file static.
+
+    00857038 [46->5] tuple ()
+
+46-5 = 41 references to the empty tuple were removed by the cleanup actions
+between the times PYTHONDUMPREFS produced output.
+
+    00858028 [1025->1456] str '<dummy key>'
+
+The string '<dummy key>', which is used in dictobject.c to overwrite a real
+key that gets deleted, grew several hundred references during cleanup.  It
+suggests that stuff did get removed from dicts by cleanup, but that the dicts
+themselves are staying alive for some reason. """
