I don't think that is worth it.
There is some value to keeping the API consistent with the style that has been 
used in the past.
So, I vote for Py_RETURN_NOTIMPLEMENTED.  There's no real need to factor this 
any further.
It's not hard and not important enough to introduce a new variation on return 
macros.
Adding another return style makes the C API harder to learn and remember.
If we we're starting from scratch, Py_RETURN(obj) would make sense.
But we're not starting from scratch, so we should stick with the precedents.
