[issue6695] PyXXX_ClearFreeList for dict, set, and list

[Skip Montanaro]

Skip Montanaro <skip at pobox.com> added the comment:

Instead of expanding the C API for each type which supports a free
list perhaps there should be a single call, say, PyObject_ClearFreeList,
which takes a pointer to the appropriate type object as an argument.
PyTypeObject can then grow a tp_free_list slot through which the
function calls a type-specific free list clearing function.
