Optimize tuple_slice() and make further improvements to list_slice()
...
and list.extend(). Factoring the inner loops to remove the constant
structure references and fixed offsets gives speedups ranging from
20% to 30%.

SF patch #910929 : Optimize list comprehensions
...
Add a new opcode, LIST_APPEND, and apply it to the code generation for
list comprehensions. Reduces the per-loop overhead by about a third.

SF #904720 : dict.update should take a 2-tuple sequence like dict.__init_
...
(Championed by Bob Ippolito.)
The update() method for mappings now accepts all the same argument forms
as the dict() constructor. This includes item lists and/or keyword
arguments.

Fine tune the speed/space trade-off for overallocating small lists.
...
The Py2.3 approach overallocated small lists by up to 8 elements.
The last checkin would limited this to one but slowed down (by 20 to 30%)
the creation of small lists between 3 to 8 elements.
This tune-up balances the two, limiting overallocation to 3 elements
(significantly reducing space consumption from Py2.3) and running faster
than the previous checkin.
The first part of the growth pattern (0, 4, 8, 16) neatly meshes with
allocators that trigger data movement only when crossing a power of two
boundary. Also, then even numbers mesh well with common data alignments.
