But you're also breaking the public C API:

Just some comments on the GC stuff as I added them myself.

No, extension types need to opt-in to the garbage collector and if so,
implement the interface.

Hi,
In Python 3.9, I *removed* dozens of functions from the *public* C
API, or moved them to the "internal" C API:

For a few internal C API, I replaced PyAPI_FUNC() with extern to
ensure that they cannot be used outside CPython code base: Python 3
Hi,
The size of the C API, as measured by `git grep PyAPI_FUNC | wc -l` has
been steadily increasing over the last few releases.
3.5 1237
3.6 1304
3.7 1408
3.8 1478
3.9 1518
For reference the 2.7 branch has "only" 973 functions
I've heard many criticisms of Python 2 over
