* I would like to see a restriction on the use of the concrete C API such that it is *only* used when a exact type match has been found or created (i.e. if someone writes Py_ListNew(), then it is okay to use Py_ListSetItem()).
That should be qualified. For example, not being able to use PyUnicode_AS_STRING in some performance-critical code (such as the io lib) would be a large impediment. Regards Antoine.
