There already is an implementation of this for Windows (``PyOS_CheckStack``). 
For other platforms there will 
have to be a different implementation of this function.  I’ve looked into this 
in the past for macOS, and that platform
has an API to retrieve the size of the stack as well as a pointer to the start 
of the stack (AFAIK stacks aren’t auto-growing
on macOS)
