You also need to catch __delitem__.
You may need to catch pop, update, clear and setdefault, depending on
whether or not they call the __setitem__/__delitem__. Personally, I'd
catch them all and make sure the flag got set appropriately, because
whether or not they use those methods is an implementation detail that
may change in the future.
