[issue26314] interned strings are stored in a dict, a set would use less memory

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith added the comment:

The space for the strings is a fixed cost, the structure used to store them for efficient lookup is the only overhead that can be trimmed and is all in one contiguous allocation.

regardless, i agree, this isn't a large savings. priority low, feel free to drop if it you want.
