That's irrelevant for the issue at hand (PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN). What matters
is that s# etc converters output Py_ssize_t (unless in deprecated
compatibility mode); if you think you then need to truncate to 32 bits,
there should be explicit code that tests for truncation and raises a
Python exception if appropriate.
