SF patch 576101, by Oren Tirosh: alternative implementation of

interning. I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea

with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a

PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.

is to look for "stable" in the docstring. I'm not sure whether to
advertise this <wink>.
