/* Mostly like malloc(), return the address of a block of memory spanning

* new memory can't be obtained. Unlike malloc(0), PyArena_Malloc() with
* size=0 does not guarantee to return a unique pointer (the pointer
* returned may equal one or more other pointers obtained from
* PyArena_Malloc()).
* Note that pointers obtained via PyArena_Malloc() must never be passed to
* the system free() or realloc(), or to any of Python's similar memory-
* management functions. PyArena_Malloc()-obtained pointers remain valid
* until PyArena_Free(ar) is called, at which point all pointers obtained
* from the arena `ar` become invalid simultaneously.
