"""
There is a way to put keys of any type in a type's dictionary.
I think this allows various kinds of crashes, but so far I have only
found a convoluted attack of _PyType_Lookup(), which uses the mro of the
type without holding a strong reference to it.  Probably works with
super.__getattribute__() too, which uses the same kind of code.
