typedef struct _arena PyArena;
// _PyArena_New() and _PyArena_Free() create a new arena and free it,
// respectively. Once an arena has been created, it can be used
// to allocate memory via _PyArena_Malloc(). Pointers to PyObject can
// also be registered with the arena via _PyArena_AddPyObject(), and the
// arena will ensure that the PyObjects stay alive at least until
// _PyArena_Free() is called. When an arena is freed, all the memory it
// allocated is freed, the arena releases internal references to registered
// PyObject*, and none of its pointers are valid.
// XXX (tim) What does "none of its pointers are valid" mean? Does it
// XXX mean that pointers previously obtained via _PyArena_Malloc() are
// XXX no longer valid? (That's clearly true, but not sure that's what
// XXX the text is trying to say.)
//
// _PyArena_New() returns an arena pointer. On error, it
// returns a negative number and sets an exception.
// XXX (tim): Not true. On error, _PyArena_New() actually returns NULL,
// XXX and looks like it may or may not set an exception (e.g., if the
// XXX internal PyList_New(0) returns NULL, _PyArena_New() passes that on
// XXX and an exception is set; OTOH, if the internal
// XXX block_new(DEFAULT_BLOCK_SIZE) returns NULL, that's passed on but
// XXX an exception is not set in that case).

// Mostly like malloc(), return the address of a block of memory spanning
// `size` bytes, or return NULL (without setting an exception) if enough
// new memory can't be obtained. Unlike malloc(0), _PyArena_Malloc() with
// size=0 does not guarantee to return a unique pointer (the pointer
// returned may equal one or more other pointers obtained from
// _PyArena_Malloc()).
// Note that pointers obtained via _PyArena_Malloc() must never be passed to
// the system free() or realloc(), or to any of Python's similar memory-
// management functions. _PyArena_Malloc()-obtained pointers remain valid
// until _PyArena_Free(ar) is called, at which point all pointers obtained
// from the arena `ar` become invalid simultaneously.
//

// a PyObject* and records it so that it can be DECREFed when the
