I'm still torn.  Can you implement the counter without adding an extra field to the dict object?  I worry that we'll get the same objection we had when MAL proposed collision counting as a solution to the hash DoS attack.

The numbers 0, 1 and infinity are special; all others are to be treated with skepticism.

I'm prepared to make the current semantic change a 3.3 feature, but I'm not sure it's safe to backport.
