That seems like a good idea in abstract. However, the boundaries will
have to be delineated. Many functions beginning _Py are effectively part
of the public API even for "well-behaved" 3rd-party extensions

Oh ok, that's also what I expected.

So we should be very careful. Maybe we can experiment building a few
major C extensions like numpy to find such issues?

I think would be nice to create a test extension that uses *all* stable functions, build it with old Python versions and test if it works with new Python versions.
