Right, I'm pretty sure that right now Python doesn't have any way to
share symbols between .c files without also exposing them in the C
API.

This is fixable using "symbol visibility" features, and it would be
nice to have the option to share stuff between our own C files without
also sharing it with the world, for lots of reasons. But it might be
necessary to implement that first before doing anything to share
_Py_IDENTIFIERs.
