I think that's pointless -- lots of code uses these things, and we have no effective way to deprecate pieces of the C API anyway. I'd be in favor of redefining #define PyObjectNEW PyObjectNew to get rid of the MemoryError bug, though.

Will do. I'll also change the docs to tell people tha the macros are there for historic reasons, only.
