Jeremy,
This should probably be:
#define PyObject_Length PyObject_Size
without the parameters. This form can be used in the all the places
where it can now, including passing a function reference. Seems like
a good idea to offer as little potential breakage as possible.
Are you planning to update the API reference, or should I do that?
I'll be glad to do it; I've never liked the difference in the naming
either!
