For that to work, you would have to compile your 2.x extension with
a C99 compiler, as well - otherwise, you still have two tables in your
extension.

Still, I think that Python 3 should use designated initializers in its
own code base, which implies that it requires a C99 compiler (atleast
wrt. to that aspect of the language).
