Comment:

 When reviewing #12313 I observed a possible problem for slight leaking
 (see [http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12313#comment:125 comment
 125]):

 When all `KeyRef` objects under a certain key in `_refcache` get deleted,
 I think you're left with a `{<key> : []}` entry in `_refcache`. So I think
 in `TripleDictEraser.__call__` you need an extra line:
 {{{
         cdef list L = _refcache[k1,k2,k3]
         del L[L.index(r)]
         if len(L)==0:
             del _refcache[k1,k2,k3]
 }}}
 or whatever is the best way to remove such things.

 Similar on #12313 in `MonoDictEraser.__call__` of course.

 By all means, if you have a good argument why this is not necessary,
 revert to Positive Review (and I'd be interested in seeing the argument).
