[New-bugs-announce] [issue23261] Clean-up set.pop() search finger logic

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger:

The existing search finger is stored in a hackish way (using the hash field of entry zero in the hash table).  Replace this with normal coding techniques (saving the field in the set object).

Cost one extra field in the set object.  Benefit, remove an arcane hack and simplify the set.pop() code just a little bit.
