+ - Added a new function, PyDict_Contains(d, k) which is like
+   PySequence_Contains() but is specific to dictionaries and executes
+   about 10% faster.
+ 
  - Added three new macros: Py_RETURN_NONE, Py_RETURN_TRUE, and Py_RETURN_FALSE.
    Each return the singleton they mention after Py_INCREF()ing them.
