Yes, I'm aware of this issue. There's a balance between convenience and 
being explicit, but I'd like to leave that to the next round of 
discussions. Or do you think the solution to this will affect porting 
pytalloc, or the buildsystem changes?

Please view these WIP patches just as my idea of what the C code in the 
modules should look like.
