Macros Py_SETREF and Py_XSETREF were introduced in 3.6 and backported to 
all maintained versions ([1] and [2]). Despite their names they are 
private. I think that they are enough stable now and would be helpful in 
third-party code. Are there any objections against adding them to the 
stable C API? [3]
