Example with asyncpg:

$ rg PyFPE
asyncpg/pgproto/pgproto.c
39841:            PyFPE_START_PROTECT("add", return NULL)
39843:            PyFPE_END_PROTECT(result)

asyncpg/protocol/protocol.c
85260:            PyFPE_START_PROTECT("add", return NULL)
85262:            PyFPE_END_PROTECT(result)
85563:            PyFPE_START_PROTECT("subtract", return NULL)
85565:            PyFPE_END_PROTECT(result)
85734:            PyFPE_START_PROTECT("add", return NULL)
85736:            PyFPE_END_PROTECT(result)


So it doesn't sound like a good idea to immediately remove these two macros.
