- Thanks to PEP 562, you can now `import js` from Python and use it to access
  anything in the global Javascript namespace.

- Passing a Python object to Javascript always creates the same object in
  Javascript. This makes APIs like `removeEventListener` usable.

- Calling `dir()` in Python on a JavaScript proxy now works.

- Passing an `ArrayBuffer` from Javascript to Python now correctly creates
  a `memoryview` object.

- Pyodide now works on Safari.
