Research direction

Start with the migrated BPO issue 32361 and its 21-message discussion, then review the Interpreter Core context and the reported Python 3.6 behavior. No source files or tests are identified, and completion is not defined; first establish whether the behavior is a bug, feature, or design issue before locating an appropriate change and regression test.
