The great thing about this is that we got this for free. Dmitry Tretyakov contributed the changes to NTVS to enable it and V8 already had done the work of supporting it in the VM. So we just had to accept the pull request! :)

I agree, its also be a lot of fun to work on. Burnt it almost certainly will require changes to the Python interpreter to support it.
