[New-bugs-announce] [issue45431] [C API] Rename CFrame or hide it to only export names starting with Py

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org>:

#include <Python.h> should only define names which start with "Py" (Py, _Py, PY, _PY), but it now defines a structure called "CFrame" in Include/cpython/pystate.h.

We should either make the whole PyThreadState structure private (move it to the internal C API), or rename CFrame (to PyCFrame?).
