/* A temporary cleaner API for fast single argument function call.

   XXX: Does caching the argument tuple provides any real performance benefits?

   A quick benchmark, on a 2.0GHz Athlon64 3200+ running Linux 2.6.24 with
   glibc 2.7, tells me that it takes roughly 20,000,000 PyTuple_New(1) calls
   when the tuple is retrieved from the freelist (i.e, call PyTuple_New() then
   immediately DECREF it) and 1,200,000 calls when allocating brand new tuples
   (i.e, call PyTuple_New() and store the returned value in an array), to save
   one second (wall clock time). Either ways, the loading time a pickle stream
   large enough to generate this number of calls would be massively
   overwhelmed by other factors, like I/O throughput, the GC traversal and
   object allocation overhead. So, I really doubt these functions provide any
   real benefits.

   On the other hand, oprofile reports that pickle spends a lot of time in
   these functions. But, that is probably more related to the function call
   overhead, than the argument tuple allocation.

   XXX: And, what is the reference behavior of these? Steal, borrow? At first
   glance, it seems to steal the reference of 'arg' and borrow the reference
   of 'func'.

           some extension type contains another object of the same type. Ouch!

           Here is a quick example, that I ran into, to illustrate what I
           mean:

             >>> import pickle, copyreg
             >>> copyreg.dispatch_table.pop(complex)
             >>> pickle.dumps(1+2j)
             Traceback (most recent call last):
               ...
             RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

           Removing the complex class from copyreg.dispatch_table made the
           __reduce_ex__() method emit another complex object:

             >>> (1+1j).__reduce_ex__(2)
             (<function __newobj__ at 0xb7b71c3c>,
               (<class 'complex'>, (1+1j)), None, None, None)

           Thus when save() was called on newargstup (the 2nd item) recursion
           ensued. Of course, the bug was in the complex class which had a
           broken __getnewargs__() that emitted another complex object. But,
           the point, here, is it is quite easy to end up with a broken reduce
           function. */
