Comment (by jpflori):

 Replying to [comment:11 robertwb]:
 > The final call to the (generic) tp_free calls PyObject_GC_Untrack iff
 the GC flags are set in the type flags.  If the base class is not GC
 tracked then its dealloc method won't touch these bits.
 Sorry to insist a little bit, but while looking at the trashcan stuff, I
 thought again about it and in fact what I was worried about was rather the
 converse.

 If the base type does not have the GC_FLAG, and youve retracked it in the
 subclass, then final tp_free will indeed not touch anything related to gc,
 but won't that leave an invalid object in the gc tracked object list?
 In particular won't a call to gc_list_remove(o) be missing?
