Since I haven't actually looked at the patch yet, this doesn't qualify as a
review, but how about renaming PyString_InternInPlace to
PyString_InternImmortal? My guess is "InPlace" refers to some structural
difference between mortal and immortal interned strings which doesn't give
the programmer any hints about intended usage of either function.
