PyConfig is an input to interpreter initialization; the copy stored on PyInterpreterState records how the interpreter was initialized. The runtime int<->str digit limit already lives in PyInterpreterState.long_state.max_str_digits and that is what all readers use, so drop the write-back into interp->config.int_max_str_digits from _PySys_SetIntMaxStrDigits(). As a consequence, interpreters created after a runtime limit change now start from the initially-configured limit instead of inheriting the current runtime value.

I assume it won't change much on its way out of draft, but provided the change is just removing that line then I'm not going to have any concerns |

it's basically a one line change... the question is, is this what we want? we'll resolve that on the issue.
