Looking at this a bit more. I decided I'll only error when updating
a BTree or set using __setitem__ or add.  So even in 3.11, you won't
get an error when loading an object or using an invalid key in a query method.
You will still get a warning,

Thanks.  Note that to get at the version you were playing with, you'll need
to select a specific svn revision, as I reverted the relevant changes from
the 3.10 branch.  I exhausted by time budget for this and it may take a few days
before I get changes back on the 3.10 branch (and refine my changes on the
trunk).
