If I've followed the recent thread on pymalloc (there is some question about
that, at least in my mind), extension modules would be better served by
calling the function versions of the various allocator APIs instead of the
macro versions.  That would eliminate the need to expose
__PyCore_ObjectMalloc.

What happens if you simply change to the function versions?
