Core and builtins
-----------------
+- Optimized dict iterators, creating separate types for each
+ and having them reveal their length. Also optimized the
+ methods: keys(), values(), and items().

- Implemented a newcode opcode, LIST_APPEND, that simplifies
the generated bytecode for list comprehensions and further
improves their performance (about 35%).
