Please open an issue if you consider that these functions must be documented.

I see you opened one already; thanks for that. In any case, our policy is that all public API function (those without _Py prefixes) should be documented.

IMO these functions should be private because very low-level, but it's too late: PyFrameFastToLocals() is part of the stable ABI, even if it's not documented.

Thankfully not; all of frameobject.h is not part of the stable ABI.

cheers, Georg
