Assigning to myself to review.

To add some context that hasn't come up previously, the essential idea for this 
macro originated in the "Py3C" extension module compatibility project, where it 
helps authors of Python 2 extension modules update their projects to be 
compatible with Python 3: 
https://py3c.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference.html#comparison-helpers

As with most such pattern extractions, the key intent is to make it easier for 
developers to correctly implement a Python-specific protocol in C by replacing 
the current copy-and-paste handling of such cases with the use of C's 
preprocessor.
