/* BEWARE:

   Each interface exports both functions and macros. Extension modules
   should normally use the functions for ensuring binary compatibility
   of the user's code across Python versions. Subsequently, if the
   Python runtime switches to its own malloc (different from standard
   malloc), no recompilation is required for the extensions.

   The macro versions trade compatibility for speed. They can be used
   whenever there is a performance problem, but their use implies
   recompilation of the code for each new Python release. The Python
   core uses the macros because it *is* compiled on every upgrade.
   This might not be the case with 3rd party extensions in a custom
   setup (for example, a customer does not always have access to the
   source of 3rd party deliverables). You have been warned! */
