[Martin v. Loewis]

I may be missing something, but won't PyObjectMalloc (or PyObjectMALLOC if you prefer macros) have precisely this effect?

Yes. It's not "sane", though, because PyObject_xxx is not "supposed to be used" for raw memory. Nevertheless, it would work. In the same way, I can mix PyMem_New with PyMem_FREE today freely in the core, but you'll object that they're from different "families" .
