+/* BEWARE:
+
+   Each interface exports both functions and macros.  Extension modules should
+   use the functions, to ensure binary compatibility across Python versions.
+   Because the Python implementation is free to change internal details, and
+   the macros may (or may not) expose details for speed, if you do use the
+   macros you must recompile your extensions with each Python release.
+
+   Never mix calls to PyMem_ with calls to the platform malloc/realloc/
+   calloc/free.  For example, on Windows different DLLs may end up using
+   different heaps, and if you use PyMem_Malloc you'll get the memory from the
+   heap used by the Python DLL; it could be a disaster if you free()'ed that
+   directly in your own extension.  Using PyMem_Free instead ensures Python
+   can return the memory to the proper heap.  As another example, in
+   PYMALLOC_DEBUG mode, Python wraps all calls to all PyMem_ and PyObject_
+   memory functions in special debugging wrappers that add additional
+   debugging info to dynamic memory blocks.  The system routines have no idea
+   what to do with that stuff, and the Python wrappers have no idea what to do
+   with raw blocks obtained directly by the system routines then.
