[Python-Dev] Patch to use dict subclasses in eval(), exec

[Jack Jansen]

If at some point it's decided that this patch is a good idea I 
think we can get rid of the performance hit in the normal case 
by duplicating eval_code2() with some preprocessor magic. 
eval_code2() would then call out to eval_code2_non_dict() if the 
globals weren't in a dict.

Hmm, I wonder whether there are other situations where this idea 
would work too, i.e. situations where eval_code2() could decide 
at startup that it could take a fast path...
