Default __sizeof__() implementation uses tp_basicsize. This makes it to work correctly with most builtin types and types with __slots__ (using __slots__ increases tp_basicsize). But special implementations of __sizeof__() use static object size ('sizeof(XXXObject)'), and return incorrect result for subclasses that increase tp_basicsize. Proposed patch makes __sizeof__() for all subclassable builtin type that support changing object size (i.e. tp_itemsize == 0) to use dynamic size _PyObject_SIZE(Py_TYPE(self)).

Example (with patched code):
>>> class D(dict):
...     __slots__ = 'a', 'b', 'c'
... 
>>> sys.getsizeof({})
144
>>> sys.getsizeof(D())
156

In unpatched Python sys.getsizeof(D()) returns 144.

At least some of the buildbots aren't happy.
