Actually, there is, for Windows. The .def file is an explicit list of
symbols; additions can easily be reviewed. Everything that's not added
there is not in the stable ABI (whether or not it is included in the
#ifdef). Removals cause linker failures.

It would be possible to automatically find out whether any functions
declared under the stable API are actually exported also, by parsing
the preprocessor output for Python.h
