dictobject.h defines several helpers to ease checking of dictionary view types. If they are meant to be part of the API, they should be documented.

PyDictKeys_Check
PyDictItems_Check
PyDictValues_Check
PyDictViewSet_Check

Should they be added to dict.rst, or a separate file?

They were added in a22e8bdfd92cd4f1bc3d60e91df6410c4efde6a0. Additional types like PyDictRevIterKey_Type were added later. I am not sure that all these types should be exposed in the public C API.
