Final note: one of the developers ran into a similar issue with dict and
has opened a discussion on pydev about how the C implementation might be
changed to have derived classes act more consistently without imposing a
time penalty on the normal use of dict. There might possibly be a change
by 2.6 but I am not following the details.
