why not a an esperanto prefix for thisness? similar to how one has ĉiam (ĉial for “for every reason”) for “always”, and neniam for “never” (nenial for “for no reason”), one could have e.g. “piam” for “now”, “pie” for “here”, “pial” for “for this (one) reason”, etc. one could argue that this purpose could also be fulfilled by “ĉi tie”, “ĉi tiam”, “ĉi tial”, but why not put it into one word?

PEP 683: Immortal Objects, Using a Fixed Refcount
Under this proposal, any object may be marked as immortal.
“Immortal” means the object will never be cleaned up (at least until
runtime finalization). Specifically, the refcount for an immortal
object is set to a sentinel value, and that refcount is never changed
by Py_INCREF(), Py_DECREF(), or Py_SET_REFCNT().
For immortal containers, the PyGC_Head is never
changed by the garbage collector. ⌘ Read more
