Improve DictMixin.
...
Replaced docstring with comments. Prevents subclass contamination.
Added the missing __cmp__() method and a test for __cmp__().
Used try/except style in preference to has_key() followed by a look-up.
Used iteritem() where possible to save creating a long key list and
to save redundant lookups.
Expanded .update() to look for the most helpful methods first and gradually
work down to a mininum expected interface.
Expanded documentation to be more clear on how to use the class.

SF patch 637176: list.sort crasher
...
Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for
SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher
slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation. The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone! OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty. Better
than a core dump.
