[issue6468] __missing__ not completely implemented in dictobject.c

[Bosko Vukov]

New submission from Bosko Vukov <bvukov at users.sourceforge.net>:

For some reason functions PyDict_GetItem ( and PyDict_GetItemString )
don't try to check for '__missing__' on subclass, but
dict_subscript(dictobject *mp, register PyObject *key) does.
Only in this function a failure to get a value using
ma_lookup checks afterwards using !PyDict_CheckExact for subclass
definition of '__missing__', and then returns a value.
Is this intended or just a half implementation ?
