I would like to implement frozendict in C to be able to pass it to
PyDict_GetItem(), PyDict_SetItem() and PyDict_DelItem(). Using such
Python implementation, you would get surprising result:
d = frozendict()
dict.__setitem__(d, 'x', 1) # this is what Python does internally when
it expects a dict (e.g. in ceval.c for __builtins__)
'x' in d => False
(Python is not supposed to use the PyDict API if the object is a dict
subclass, but PyObject_Get/SetItem.)
