Guido van Rossum 1916b35f58 Fredrik Lundh:
The new filecmp module has an optional argument called use_statcache
which is documented as a true/false value, but used as an tuple index.

This patches replaces the tuple stuff with a good old if- statement,
and also removes a few other tuple pack/unpack constructs (if not
else, this saves a few bytes in the PYC file, and a few microseconds
when using the module ;-).

This function uses a cache for past comparisons and the results,
with a cache invalidation mechanism relying on stale signatures.
Of course, if 'use_statcache' is true, this mechanism is defeated,
and the cache will never grow stale.
