Comment (by jdemeyer):

 I have also been thinking about using a `with` statement:
 {{{
 cdef GEN r
 with to_GEN(s) as t0:
     pari_catch_sig_on
     r = gwhatever(t0)
     pari_catch_sig_off
 return new_gen(r)  # Clears stack but doesn't call pari_catch_sig_off()
 }}}

 Then `to_GEN` would be something like
 {{{
 cimport cython

 @cython.final
 cdef class to_GEN:
     cdef gen x

     def __init__(to_GEN self, s):
         self.x = s._pari_()

     cdef inline GEN __enter__(to_GEN self):
         return self.x.g

     cdef inline int __exit__(to_GEN self, typ, value, traceback):
         return 0
 }}}

 This looks more complicated, but it has the added advantage that the `gen`
 object for `s` is hidden inside the `to_GEN` class and that the `gen` `x`
 is kept alive for just the right amount of time. This opens a possibility
 (not on this ticket) to make `deepcopy_to_python_heap()` lazy, such that
 it only activates when the PARI stack is cleared.
