In Objects/*.c, I estimate there are 1153 functions by:

	egrep -A 3 '^(static|_Py|Py)' *.c | egrep '\.c-\{' | wc

There are about 161 in my list of untested functions.  
I created this report around Dec 14, but I don't think this #
has changed too much.  Although there may be about 10 more functions
which were tested, since I remember Fred adding some tests.  I don't
know if the new tests were reflected.

So that's about 14% of functions in Objects/*.c are not called
throughout all the regression tests.

I will try to run some updated reports to get more accurate info.

Some of the modules which had a larger # of untested functions include:

	Objects/abstract.c
	Objects/descrobject.c
	Objects/typeobject.c
	Objects/unicodeobject.c
	Objects/weakrefobject.c
