​Sorry, I missed this email earlier.

Maybe a macro like Py_MAKE_THIS_LOOP_BREAKABLE_FOR_ME_PLEASE that you could
insert wherever you think the code might be spending some time without
calling any Python code. One could use it rather carelessly, at least more
so than refcounts. Something like the macro you wrote, except that it would
take care of the whole thing and not just the counting.
