Now generated files have suffixes .clinic.c. I think it will be better, if they will end at special suffix (.c.clinic or even just .clinic). Can the output not go into a header file with static inline functions? I'd rather see memoryview.h than memoryview.clinic.c.

Same here. There's some history for this, but not for generated code. In Objects/stringlib, all of the files are .h files. They're really C code designed to be included by other .c files.
