+1 from me for both tracemalloc and failmalloc in the same vein as faulthandler (and using similar API concepts to faulthandler).
While I like the flat top level naming structure, we should clearly document these as implementation dependent runtime services. Other implementations may not provide them at all, and even if they do, many details will likely be different.
The gc module may even fall into the same category.
I updated the PEP 454 to mention that tracemalloc has been written for CPython. Victor
