Just wondering, why do we need to restore explicitly the current
pspace, instead of using just scoped_restore_current_thread?
scoped_restore_current_pspace_and_thread's doc says:
/* Save/restore the current program space, thread, inferior and frame.
Use this when you need to call
switch_to_program_space_and_thread. */
... but you are not using switch_to_program_space_and_thread here.
Maybe it's ok and I just don't understand. Same in
~scoped_mock_context.

I think unfortunately need to support Python versions that don't know
about f-strings.
