One solution would be to:
introduce Py_GetSizeInline(), Py_GetTypeInline() static inline functions (of course, feel free to prefer other names :-))
deprecate Py_SIZE() and Py_TYPE() with a message guiding towards Py_GetSizeInline() and Py_GetTypeInline() respectively. To be clear, this is a compile-time deprecation message using pragmas or other compiler-specific means (see e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2681259/how-to-deprecate-a-c-pre-process...).
in a couple versions, retire the current definitions of Py_SIZE and Py_TYPE and replace them with:
#define Py_SIZE Py_GetSizeInline #define Py_TYPE Py_GetTypeInline
Regards
Antoine.

I think that's the core of the divergences of opinions. I think we have reached a point where the amount of improvements which can be done by "small steps which are individually useful" is little. I might be wrong of course.
