* Remove struct _node from the stable ABI list
This struct was removed along with the old parser in Python 3.9 (PEP 617)
* Stable ABI list: Use the public name "PyFrameObject" rather than "_frame"
* Ensure limited API doesn't contain private names
Names prefixed by an underscore are private by definition.
* Add a blurb
Py_FrozenMain was added to the Limited C API in [bpo-42591]() (3.10.0a4);
but to fix that issue it would be enough to add it to the regular C API.
The function is undocumented, tests were added very recently ([bpo-44131]()),
and most importantly, it is not present in all builds of Python, as
the linker sometimes omits it as unused.
It should be added back when these issues are fixed.
Note that this does not affect Python's regular C API.
- Reformat the C API and ABI Versioning page (and extend/clarify a bit)
- Rewrite the stable ABI docs into a general text on C API Compatibility
- Add a list of Limited API contents, and notes for the individual items.
- Replace `Include/README.rst` with a link to a devguide page with the same info
Add new C-API functions to control the state of the garbage collector:
PyGC_Enable(), PyGC_Disable(), PyGC_IsEnabled(),
corresponding to the functions in the gc module.

- `_Py_EncodeLocaleRaw`, which is private by name, undocumented,
and wasn't exported in `python3.dll`, is moved to a private header.
- `_Py_HashSecret_Initialized`, again private by name, undocumented,
and not exported in `python3.dll`, is excluded with `Py_LIMITED_API`.
- `PyMarshal_*` and `PyMember_*One` functions, declared in private headers and
not exported in `python3.dll`, are removed from `Doc/data/stable_abi.dat`.
- `PyMem_Calloc` which *was* exported in `python3dll.c`, is moved to public
headers where it joins its other `PyMem_*` friends.
Only the last change is documented in the blurb; others are not user-visible.
(Nothing uses `Doc/data/stable_abi.dat` yet.)
https://bugs.python.org/issue43795
Add the Py_Is(x, y) function to test if the 'x' object is the 'y'
object, the same as "x is y" in Python. Add also the Py_IsNone(),
Py_IsTrue(), Py_IsFalse() functions to test if an object is,
respectively, the None singleton, the True singleton or the False
singleton.
The stable_abi.py script no longer parse macros. Macro targets can be
static inline functions which are not part of the stable ABI, only
part of the limited C API.
Run "make regen-limited-abi" to exclude PyType_HasFeature from
Doc/data/stable_abi.dat.
Rename Include/symtable.h to to Include/internal/pycore_symtable.h,
don't export symbols anymore (replace PyAPI_FUNC and PyAPI_DATA with
extern) and rename functions:
* PyST_GetScope() to _PyST_GetScope()
* PySymtable_BuildObject() to _PySymtable_Build()
* PySymtable_Free() to _PySymtable_Free()
Remove PySymtable_Build(), Py_SymtableString() and
Py_SymtableStringObject() functions.
The Py_SymtableString() function was part the stable ABI by mistake
but it could not be used, since the symtable.h header file was
excluded from the limited C API.
The Python symtable module remains available and is unchanged.
