Yes, but you only get one object for the value, which means
at least allocating a tuple if you want to be able to report
something like "AttributeError: 'fooblat' object has no
attribute 'asdf'".

I'm thinking about a C api that would let you supply multiple
pre-existing values without having to allocate anything.
Not sure exactly how it would work, though.

Also, what about Py3? Has the type/value separation gone away
completely, or is it still there at the C level?
