I assumed that since PyModuleAddObject is documented as stealing a reference, it always stole a reference. But in reality it only does so conditionally, when it succeeds. As an aside, is this a general feature of functions that steal references, or is PyModuleAddObject an oddity? IIRC, It's an oddity.

But it is a convenient oddity nonetheless.
