Summary: Parts of 2.2.1 core use old gc API

Initial Comment:
At least generators, iterators, and bound method 
objects in 2.2.1 are using the 2.1 gc API internally 
(PyObject_GC_Init & friends), which collapses to a 
bunch of nops.  That's not intentional, right?  I'm 
tempted to call it a critical bug, except nobody has 
noticed <wink>.

It wasn't intentional but it's been known for a while.  No
one complained
and so we didn't fix it in a bugfix release.  I think it
would be considered a
new feature.  Maybe we should leave it up to the 2.2 release
manager to
decide.

This is a good example of why it would be useful to have an
option to
disable compatibilty code.
