[issue4129] C/API documentation: request for documentation of change to Py_ssize_t* arguments.

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

I think the Py_ssize_t change is clearly documented in the "What's new"
document:
http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.5.html#pep-353-using-ssize-t-as-the-index-type
This paragraph also links to:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0353/#doesn-t-this-break-much-code
which happens to mention the incompatibility in the slice API.

Didn't you get any compilation warning?

I suggest to use a newer version of Scientific Python: 2.7 at least uses
Py_ssize_t throughout its code.
