New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com>:

I need to test whether the string is interned for Python implementations of 
marshal.dumps(). It is easy to do in C, and I suggest to expose this 
functionality to Python.

Currently you can test if the string is interned using the following function:

    def isinterned(s):
        return sys.intern(s) is s

But it has a side effect -- it interns a string if it is not equal to an 
already interned string.
