[issue1739789] Accelerate attr dict lookups

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

This was an interesting idea.  Essentially, it created cell-style objects for entries in a global dict so that functions using load_global could access and update the values directly.

All dicts paid a price for this, but only module dicts would benefit.  A more refined approach would be to create a custom dict type just for module globals.

Mark, you're right.  The patch appears to have been abandoned and not generated interest.
