For what it's worth, if we use the "accumulator" approach I propose that 
the generated code doesn't go at the very end of the file. Instead, I 
suggest they should go *near* the end, below the implementations of the 
module / class methods, but above the methoddef/type structures and the 
module init function.

My reasoning: when I navigate CPython C files implementing a module or a 
type, when I know what entry point I want I just search for its name.  
When I don't know what I want, I jump to the end, then scroll up until I 
find the name in the init function or the structures.  So I wouldn't 
want the code at the very end; that would screw up that navigation mode.
