I like these macros!

Technically, would it be possible to use an inline function instead of a macro for Python 3.7?

Macros PySETREF and PyXSETREF were introduced in 3.6 and backported to all maintained versions ([1] and [2]). Despite their names they are private. I think that they are enough stable now and would be helpful in third-party code. Are there any objections against adding them to the stable C API? [3]
