lookdict_unicode() and lookdict_unicode_nodummy() may raise exception
when key is not unicode.
lookdict() is general-purpose, and may return DKIX_ERROR if (and only if) a
comparison raises an exception.
lookdict_unicode() below is specialized to string keys, comparison of which can
-never raise an exception; that function can never return DKIX_ERROR.
+never raise an exception; that function can never return DKIX_ERROR when key

lookdict_unicode_nodummy is further specialized for string keys that cannot be
the <dummy> value.
For both, when the key isn't found a DKIX_EMPTY is returned. hashpos returns
