Check out Guido's patch.  It's not that "heavyweight", and its intended
behavior is to make some operations *more* intuitive, if not a bit
faster in some cases.

Whether or not getorset is introduced, I don't much care, as defaultdict
will cover every use case I've been using setdefault for, as well as
most of my use cases for get.
