* _PyTuple_ITEMS() gives access to the tuple->ob_item field and cast the
  first argument to PyTupleObject*. This internal macro is only usable if
  Py_BUILD_CORE is defined.
* Replace &PyTuple_GET_ITEM(ob, 0) with _PyTuple_ITEMS(ob).
* Replace PyTuple_GET_ITEM(op, 1) with &_PyTuple_ITEMS(ob)[1].

  Issue #4688: Add a heuristic so that tuples and dicts containing only
  untrackable objects are not tracked by the garbage collector. This can
  reduce the size of collections and therefore the garbage collection overhead
  on long-running programs, depending on their particular use of datatypes.

  (trivia: this makes the "binary_trees" benchmark from the Computer Language
  Shootout 40% faster)

  Re-enable tests, they were failing since gc.collect() clears the various freelists.
  They still remain fragile.

  For example, a call to assertEqual currently does not make any allocation
  (which surprised me at first).
  But this can change when gc.collect also deletes the numerous "zombie frames"
  attached to each function.

#1629: Renamed Py_Size, Py_Type and Py_Refcnt to Py_SIZE, Py_TYPE and Py_REFCNT. Macros for b/w compatibility are available.

Before the patch a lot of internal types weren't available in the header files. The patch exposes the new iterators, views and some other types to all C modules. I've also renamed some of the types and tp_names.

  Variation of patch # 1624059 to speed up checking if an object is a subclass
  of some of the common builtin types.

  Use a bit in tp_flags for each common builtin type.  Check the bit
  to determine if any instance is a subclass of these common types.
  The check avoids a function call and O(n) search of the base classes.
  The check is done in the various Py*_Check macros rather than calling
  PyType_IsSubtype().

  All the bits are set in tp_flags when the type is declared
  in the Objects/*object.c files because PyType_Ready() is not called
  for all the types.  Should PyType_Ready() be called for all types?
  If so and the change is made, the changes to the Objects/*object.c files
  can be reverted (remove setting the tp_flags).  Objects/typeobject.c
  would also have to be modified to add conditions
  for Py*_CheckExact() in addition to each the PyType_IsSubtype check.

exposed in header files.  Fixed a few comments in these headers.

As we might have expected, writing down invariants systematically exposed a
(minor) bug.  In this case, function objects have a writeable func_code
attribute, which could be set to code objects with the wrong number of
free variables.  Calling the resulting function segfaulted the interpreter.
Added a corresponding test.

useful for rapidly building argument tuples without having to invoke the
more sophisticated machinery of Py_BuildValue().

Thanks to Skip Montanaro and Kalle Svensson for the patches.

tuple(i) repaired to return a true tuple when i is an instance of a
tuple subclass.
Added PyTuple_CheckExact macro.
PySequence_Tuple():  if a tuple-like object isn't exactly a tuple, it's
not safe to return the object as-is -- make a new tuple of it instead.

_PyTuple_Resize().

This should match the situation in the 1.6b1 tree.

use the new names exclusively, and the linker will see the new names.
Files that import "Python.h" also only see the new names.  Files that
import "allobjects.h" will continue to be able to use the old names,
due to the inclusion (in allobjects.h) of "rename2.h".

object.h: made sizes and refcnts signed ints.
stringobject.h: make getstrsize() signed int.
methodobject.h: add METH_VARARGS and METH_FREENAME flag bit definitions.
