Hi Petr,

In PEP 384 it is written that no functions starting with an underscore are
part of the stable ABI:

PEP 384 -- Defining a Stable ABI | Python.org
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0384/#excluded-functions>
> All functions starting with _Py are not available to applications

OTOH there's a data file in the repo, Misc/stabe_abi.txt, which lists many
functions starting with _Py_, for example _PyObject_GC_Malloc. Then again,
that function is not listed in Doc/data/stable_abi.dat. (I didn't check
other functions, but maybe there are others.)

So is Misc/stable_abi.txt just out of date? Or how can the discrepancy be
explained?
