I'm not sure I like this approach. Slowing down PyTuple_SET_ITEM to
optimize a micro-benchmark seems dubious. However, dropping the number
of tracked objects by 50% _does_ seem worthwhile. Couldn't we get the
same effect by checking and untracking the appropriate tuples after
finishing a gen1 collection? Each tuple would be checked once and short
lived tuples will probably not be checked at all.
