[pypy-issue] [issue1750] intern() -> immortal

[Armin Rigo]

New submission from Armin Rigo <armin.rigo at gmail.com>:

In CPython, intern() returns strings that are unique among all co-existing equal
strings, but not immortal.  In PyPy they are immortal.  This should be fixed at
some point.  Maybe it's as simple as using a WeakValueDictionary for
space.interned_strings?
