I believe it's reasonably stable, as it contains mostly simple stuff.
Something perhaps can be added later, but I don't think anything will
need to be removed.

At least, I don't see what I would like to change there. The only thing
I wouldn't perhaps like to have in the long run are the PyString and
possibly PyInt redefinition macros. But if the header is going to be
used elsewhere, we can as well freeze it now and promise not to remove
or change anything existing.
