New submission from Marco Sulla <launchpad....@marco.sulla.e4ward.com>:

I noticed that `__contains__()` and `__getitem__()` of subclasses of `dict` are 
much slower. I asked why on StackOverflow, and an user seemed to find the 
reason.

The problem for him/her is that `dict` implements directly `__contains__()` and 
`__getitem__()`. Usually, `sq_contains` and `mp_subscript` are wrapped to 
implement `__contains__()` and `__getitem__()`, but this way `dict` is a little 
faster, I suppose.

The problem is that `update_one_slot()` searches for the wrappers. If it does 
not find them, it does not inherit the `__contains__()` and `__getitem__()` of 
the class, but create a `__contains__()` and `__getitem__()` functions that do 
an MRO search and call the superclass method. This is why `__contains__()` and 
`__getitem__()` of `dict` subclasses are slower.


Is it possible to modify `update_one_slot()` so that, if no wrapper is found, 
the explicit implementation is inherited?
