+ The many arguments of this function are inter-dependent in complex
ways, meaning that subtle changes to values are likely to result in incorrect
execution or VM crashes. Use this function only with extreme care.

+Extra information
+-----------------
+
+To support low-level extensions to frame evaluation, such as external
+just-in-time compilers, it is possible to attach arbitrary extra data to
+code objects.
+
+These functions are part of the unstable C API tier:
+this functionality is a CPython implementation detail, and the API
+may change without deprecation warnings.
+
+.. c:function:: Py_ssize_t PyUnstable_Eval_RequestCodeExtraIndex(freefunc free)
+
+ Return a new an opaque index value used to adding data to code objects.
+
+ You generally call this function once (per interpreter) and use the result
+ with ``PyCode_GetExtra`` and ``PyCode_SetExtra`` to manipulate
+ data on individual code objects.
+
+ If *free* is not ``NULL``: when a code object is deallocated,
+ *free* will be called on non-``NULL`` data stored under the new index.
+ Use :c:func:`Py_DecRef` when storing :c:type:`PyObject`.

+
+ Set *extra* to the extra data stored under the given index.

+
+ If no data was set under the index, set *extra* to ``NULL`` and return
+ 0 without setting an exception.
