FWIW I have an idea that would allow code using e.g. &PyList_Type to continue to work, and even ABI compatible (though only in the main interpreter).

// In some header file

PyAPI_FUNC(PyHeapTypeObject *) PyList_GetType();

#define PyList_Type (PyList_GetType()->ht_type)

For the main interpreter we could make this return the address of PyList_Type.
