Summary: new.code() not cleanly checking its arguments

Initial Comment:
new.code() does not check its arguments properly:

>>> new.code(1,1,1,0,"123",(None,),(5,),(5,),"123","321",2,"")
Fatal Python error: non-string found in code slot

Here the tuple (5,) is used for co_names and co_varnames.

More generally it looks like this part of compile.c could do with quite some cleaning up.
