Quick update on the fastcall work.

> I pushed th echange b9c9691c72c5 to replace PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs() with _PyObject_CallNoArg() or _PyObject_CallArg1(). These functions are simpler and don't allocate memory on the C stack.

Using _PyObject_CallArg1() increased the usage of the C stack: see issue #28858. The fix was to remove the _PyObject_CallArg1() macro, replaced with PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, arg, NULL).

There is still an open issue #28870 to reduce the usage of the C stack memory even more, but it's more a general optimization.
