/* This dictionary will leak at PyString_Fini() time. That's acceptable
* because PyString_Fini() specifically frees interned strings that are
* only referenced by this dictionary. The CVS log entry for revision 2.45
* says:
*
* Change the Fini function to only remove otherwise unreferenced
* strings from the interned table. There are references in
* hard-to-find static variables all over the interpreter, and it's not
* worth trying to get rid of all those; but "uninterning" isn't fair
* either and may cause subtle failures later -- so we have to keep them
* in the interned table.
