Make weak references subclassable:
...
- weakref.ref and weakref.ReferenceType will become aliases for each
other
- weakref.ref will be a modern, new-style class with proper __new__
and __init__ methods
- weakref.WeakValueDictionary will have a lighter memory footprint,
using a new weakref.ref subclass to associate the key with the
value, allowing us to have only a single object of overhead for each
dictionary entry (currently, there are 3 objects of overhead per
entry: a weakref to the value, a weakref to the dictionary, and a
function object used as a weakref callback; the weakref to the
dictionary could be avoided without this change)
- a new macro, PyWeakref_CheckRefExact(), will be added
- PyWeakref_CheckRef() will check for subclasses of weakref.ref
This closes SF patch #983019 .

SF Bug #215126 : Over restricted type checking on eval() function
...
The builtin eval() function now accepts any mapping for the locals argument.
Time sensitive steps guarded by PyDict_CheckExact() to keep from slowing
down the normal case. My timings so no measurable impact.

Change signatures for arguments to "s" and friends to be the proper ``const

char *`` instead of just ``char *``. Also added the mentioning of "const" in
some places where it was left out even when the signature already stated the
fact.
Closes bug #980925 .

PyArg_ParseTuple() to ``const char *`` to match the recommendation made in

did not want to step on anyone's toes.
