tuple, dict and frame use free lists to optimize the creation of objects.

Unicode uses "interned" strings to reduce the Python memory footprint and speedup dictionary lookups.

Unicode also uses singletons for single letter Latin1 characters ([U+0000; U+00FF] range).

All these optimizations are incompatible with isolated subinterpreters, since caches are currently shared by all inteprepreters. These caches should be made per-intepreter. See bpo-40512 "Meta issue: per-interpreter GIL" for the rationale.

I already made small integer singletons per interpreter in bpo-38858:

• commit 5dcc06f
• commit 630c8df.

I wrote a draft PR to make interned strings per-interpreter. It does crash because it requires to make method cache and _PyUnicode_FromId() (bpo-39465) compatible with subinterpreters.
