[Import-SIG] Pre-PEP: Module State Access from C Extension Methods

[Petr Viktorin]

Hello,

I've updated the pre-PEP with static exceptions (which seem right
thing to do to me, and they help when updating existing stdlib
modules), and plans for Argument Clinic. I'm still working on the
implementation for those parts, and on helpers for slot methods.

The new text is at:
https://github.com/encukou/peps/blob/module-state-access/pep-9999.txt
with diffs available under History.
