Summary: object.h misdocuments PyDict_SetItemString

Initial Comment:
I just happened to notice the following in the comment 
titled "Reference Counts" toward the end of object.h 
(2.3.2):

Functions that 'store' objects such as PyTuple_SetItem
() and PyDict_SetItemString()
don't increment the reference count of the object

I believe PyDict_SetItemString does increment the 
refcount.

Hi Greg, you are right, whoever wrote it probably meant 
PyList_SetItem (according to Ref.Manual 1.2.1.1 and source). 
Will you submit a patch?
