73    NOTE: about untracking of mutable objects.
74 
75    Certain types of container cannot participate in a reference cycle, and
76    so do not need to be tracked by the garbage collector. Untracking these
77    objects reduces the cost of garbage collections. However, determining
78    which objects may be untracked is not free, and the costs must be
79    weighed against the benefits for garbage collection.
80 
81    There are two possible strategies for when to untrack a container:
82 
83    i) When the container is created.
84    ii) When the container is examined by the garbage collector.
85 
86    Tuples containing only immutable objects (integers, strings etc, and
87    recursively, tuples of immutable objects) do not need to be tracked.
88    The interpreter creates a large number of tuples, many of which will
89    not survive until garbage collection. It is therefore not worthwhile
90    to untrack eligible tuples at creation time.
91 
92    Instead, all tuples except the empty tuple are tracked when created.
93    During garbage collection it is determined whether any surviving tuples
94    can be untracked. A tuple can be untracked if all of its contents are
95    already not tracked. Tuples are examined for untracking in all garbage
96    collection cycles. It may take more than one cycle to untrack a tuple.
97 
98    Dictionaries containing only immutable objects also do not need to be
99    tracked. Dictionaries are untracked when created. If a tracked item is
100    inserted into a dictionary (either as a key or value), the dictionary
101    becomes tracked. During a full garbage collection (all generations),
102    the collector will untrack any dictionaries whose contents are not
103    tracked.
104 
105    The module provides the python function is_tracked(obj), which returns
106    the CURRENT tracking status of the object. Subsequent garbage
107    collections may change the tracking status of the object.
108 
109    Untracking of certain containers was introduced in issue #4688, and
110    the algorithm was refined in response to issue #14775.
