No offense, but thrust of this seems goofy.  Slice objects
aren't sanely used as containers for arbitrary objects, they
typically hold only integers and maybe None.  The decision
to leave them out of cyclic gc was therefore sensible; that
they can be abused in strained ways to create cycles seems
much more an exercise in determined perverseness than a
practical concern.
