That's really interesting, I've had no idea:
BTW I just had a peek into some Arch Linux Python 3.5 packages, and it
seems they contain *no* identical *.pyc and corresponding *.opt-1.pyc
files. This is bad news wrt the hardlinking. I haven't found any
*.opt-2.pyc files to play with, so I don't know what's the situation
with them.
