  Issue #4688: Add a heuristic so that tuples and dicts containing only
  untrackable objects are not tracked by the garbage collector. This can
  reduce the size of collections and therefore the garbage collection overhead
  on long-running programs, depending on their particular use of datatypes.

  (trivia: this makes the "binary_trees" benchmark from the Computer Language
  Shootout 40% faster)

/*
Another generally useful object type is a tuple of object pointers.
For Python, this is an immutable type. C code can change the tuple items
(but not their number), and even use tuples are general-purpose arrays of
object references, but in general only brand new tuples should be mutated,
not ones that might already have been exposed to Python code.
*** WARNING *** PyTuple_SetItem does not increment the new item's reference
count, but does decrement the reference count of the item it replaces,
if not nil. It does *decrement* the reference count if it is *not*
inserted in the tuple. Similarly, PyTuple_GetItem does not increment the
returned item's reference count.
