Comment:
While this change make the generated code a lot simpler, it
also has a high cost in speed and memory.  The stack for a code
object needs to be big enough to hold all the keys and values,
which can be costly.  The pybench dict creation benchmark slows
down about 15%.

Comment:
This patch makes BUILD_MAP more like BUILD_LIST, and uses these newfound
abilities to compile literal dictionaries into code more like that for
lists and tuples.

No reason, really, beyong asthetics & the fact that this'll make some hacks
I want to inflict on the function call mechanism easier...

I'll give this to Jeremy for consideration, since he's working on a
restructuring of the function call code anyway. I'll note thta this is
really low priority.
