PEP 7 uses C99 since Python 3.6:

> What do you think about macro like this?

Macros cannot be used in all C extensions. For the PEP 587, I was asked to replace macros with functions.

I would prefer a PyObject_CallOneArg() function than yet another ugly and dangerous macro. Sometimes, a regular function is better for stack consumption: it doesn't increase the stack consumption in the call site, stack memory is "released" once PyObject_CallOneArg() exit. In the past, I had to disable inlining in some functions to reduce the stack consumption. (I'm not sure if this optimization is still around.)
