For example keep_alive<0,1>() should work where the return value may sometimes be None. At present a "Could not allocate weak reference!" exception is thrown.
Update documentation to clarify behaviour of keep_alive when nurse is None or does not support weak references.

The format strings that are known at compile time are now accessible
via both ::value and ::format(), and format strings for everything
else is accessible via ::format(). This makes it backwards compatible.

This allows exposing a dict-like interface to python code, allowing
iteration over keys via:

    for k in custommapping:
        ...

while still allowing iteration over pairs, so that you can also
implement 'dict.items()' functionality which returns a pair iterator,
allowing:

    for k, v in custommapping.items():
        ...

example-sequences-and-iterators is updated with a custom class providing
both types of iteration.
