TBH I saw this more as an opportunity to get used to the whole system, how to 
create a patch, etc. :) Should've made it clearer at the start that this is 
unlikely to ever be a problem, sorry (didn't see a way to set priority to low 
myself).


If my math isn't completely off, the highest possible value here is 
hi + (hi - 1) so this only occurs if hi > (MAX_SSIZE_T + 1) / 2. So this would 
only work out if we had such an array containing only a handful different 
objects. And then that's me assuming that a list is actually a thin wrapper 
around an array of PyObject*.
