It probably shouldn't, but it needs an #ifndef Py_LIMITED_API check so it
is excluded from the headers (my list was automatically generated).


It sounds like the opt-out approach isn't working very well, and maybe an
opt-in approach should be considered instead? I recognize that the way C
headers work makes this difficult, but it seems like something needs to
change.

Or maybe the test suite should error out if any unexpected symbols appear
in the stable ABI?
