I wonder if there is a way to create an API for extension modules that would allow a gradual phase-out of reference counting, towards a 'pure' GC.

I believe this is possible when C code doesn't access addresses of Python objects directly, but via handles.

See "Minor" link there, and the whole SRFI-50 discussion about FFI styles.
