That's actually non-trivial because PyObject_LengthHint just returns a 
Py_ssize_t. To recover NotImplemented will be complicated and there's no way to 
discriminate if the OverflowError happened in PyObject_LengthHint or in the 
called __length_hint__. 

But TypeError is correctly re-raised in the tests I made.
