* Give set_lookkey_string() a fast alternate path when no dummy entries
  are present.
* Have set_swap_bodies() reset the hash field to -1 whenever either of
  bodies is not a frozenset.  Maintains the invariant of regular sets
  always having -1 in the hash field; otherwise, any mutation would make
  the hash value invalid.
* Use an entry pointer to simplify the code in frozenset_hash().

* Have frozenset_hash() use entry->hash instead of re-computing each
  individual hash with PyObject_Hash(o);
* Finalize the dummy entry before a system exit.

method still needs to support string exceptions, and allow None for the
third argument.  Documentation updates are needed, too.

  - Handle both frozenset() and frozenset([]).
  - Do not use singleton for frozenset subclasses.
  - Finalize the singleton.
  - Add test cases.
* Factor-out set_update_internal() from set_update().  Simplifies the
  code for several internal callers.
* Factor constant expressions out of loop in set_merge_internal().
* Minor comment touch-ups.

data structure instead of using dictionaries.  Reduces memory consumption
by 1/3 and provides modest speed-ups for most set operations.

Documentation added about changes in 2.4 to basicConfig(), including documentation of the keyword arguments. A version change note was also added to the basic example.

of unicode objects, so that codecs that do a str->str decoding won't promote
the result to unicode. This fixes SF bug #1241507.
