But - one shouldn't be writing six.iteritems(dict0) *anyway* except in
really specific circumstances. We had a mega thread on that a few
months back - tl;dr at our scale - even at our aspirational scale - it
rarely if ever matters.

Its that that makes me actually skeptical - the overheads of 2+3
single tree compat are really really low already, generally.
