Jeremy,
  This should probably be:

#define PyObject_Length PyObject_Size

without the parameters.  This form can be used in the all the places
where it can now, including passing a function reference.  Seems like
a good idea to offer as little potential breakage as possible.
  Are you planning to update the API reference, or should I do that?
I'll be glad to do it; I've never liked the difference in the naming
either!
