There was a problem hiding this comment.
&PyObject means it guarantees the RC count is never changed in this logic. (not 100% because it can be changed in C side)
PyRc means it can be increased or decreased.

I’ve added a new commit on top of #17.
I’m not claiming that PyRc introduced in this patch represents ideal design. But I think it’s sufficient to demonstrate how we can have a type with the same memory layout as *mut PyObject while automatically handling DecRef.
Since these types don’t belong in cpython-sys, we’ll need a separate crate for the public API.
