I didn't find the documentation of PyFrame_FastToLocals(). Please open
an issue if you consider that these functions must be documented.

IMO these functions should be private because very low-level, but it's
too late: PyFrame_FastToLocals() is part of the stable ABI, even if
it's not documented.

PyFrame_FastToLocalsWithError() is the same than
PyFrame_FastToLocals(), except that it has a return value and keep the
exception.
