Daniel Stutzbach proposed (in private mail) to preserve PyObject_HEAD, but define it as "PyObject ob_base;". Technically, that would work just fine, and I'll revise the PEP in that direction. I'd still prefer if the core would not use PyObject_HEAD on its own, because the semicolon-missing macro breaks editors that do indentation based on the C syntax, but providing this level of compatibility is easy.
