types.  This prevents nonsense like 2.__class__ = bool or
True.__class__ = int.

   This is friendlier for caches.

2. Cut MIN_GALLOP to 7, but added a per-sort min_gallop vrbl that adapts
   the "get into galloping mode" threshold higher when galloping isn't
   paying, and lower when it is.  There's no known case where this hurts.
   It's (of course) neutral for /sort, \sort and =sort.  It also happens
   to be neutral for !sort.  It cuts a tiny # of compares in 3sort and +sort.
   For *sort, it reduces the # of compares to better than what this used to
   do when MIN_GALLOP was hardcoded to 10 (it did about 0.1% more *sort
   compares before, but given how close we are to the limit, this is "a
   lot"!).  %sort used to do about 1.5% more compares, and ~sort about
   3.6% more.  Here are exact counts:

 i    *sort    3sort    +sort    %sort    ~sort    !sort

4. Updated the doc file.

conclusions don't).  Also did the samplesort counts with the released
2.2.1, as they're slightly different under the last CVS 2.3 samplesort
(some higher, some lower -- CVS had been changed to stop doing the
special-case business on recursive samplesort calls).

example of where this changes behavior is when a new-style instance
defines '__mul__' and '__rmul__' and is multiplied by an int.  Before the
change the '__rmul__' method is never called, even if the int is the
left operand.
