Comment:
OK, this fixes some problem with the applied-and-retracted
version of the methods:

* It adds exception-information to the docos
* It uses _SET_ITEM and not _SetItem for more efficiency.

I will still build skewed dictionaries.
Opinion: maybe it would do to rehash the dictionary when
there are too few items too? Wouldn't that solve everything
better then Tim's weird "let's keep a pointer into the dictionary" dict?
