/*
  This file introduces a new API for handling references on the stack, called
  _PyStackRef. This API is inspired by HPy.

  There are 3 main operations, that convert _PyStackRef to PyObject* and
  vice versa:

    1. Borrow (discouraged)
    2. Steal
    3. New

  Borrow means that the reference is converted without any change in ownership.
  This is discouraged because it makes verification much harder. It also makes
  unboxed integers harder in the future.

  Steal means that ownership is transferred to something else. The total
  number of references to the object stays the same.

  New creates a new reference from the old reference. The old reference
  is still valid.

  With these 3 API, a strict stack discipline must be maintained. All
  _PyStackRef must be operated on by the new reference operations:

    1. DUP
    2. CLOSE

   DUP is roughly equivalent to Py_NewRef. It creates a new reference from an old
   reference. The old reference remains unchanged.

   CLOSE is roughly equivalent to Py_DECREF. It destroys a reference.

   Note that it is unsafe to borrow a _PyStackRef and then do normal
   CPython refcounting operations on it!
