IMHO adding 8 bytes per dict is worth it.
I'm not so sure. There are already platforms where Python is unfeasible to generally use (e.g. some mobile devices) at least in part because of memory footprint. Dicts are used everywhere so think about the kind of impact adding 8 bytes to every dict in an application running on such systems will have. Cheers, -Barry
