-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 The python query constructor which takes a sequence of queries as an
 argument leaks memory, due to failing to decref python objects returned
 from PySequence_GetItem.  I think there are also other memory leaks in the
 related code.  I have a small testcase which reproduces this; though not
 to hand at present.  Making this issue as a placeholder to keep track of
 this issue.

 (Note that valgrind doesn't seem to be able to detect the leak, but the
 testcase I have is very simple and clear and rapidly uses up 100s of Mbs
 of memory.)
