* Inline small dictionary tables in the PyObject struct and only revert to external tables for larger ones. (I have an old patch for this one which you might want to update)

I may be missing some context, but AFAIK we already do this. See dictobject.h: the last item in struct _dictobject is

PyDictEntry ma_smalltable[PyDict_MINSIZE];
