By design, _xxsubinterpretersmodule is not supposed to be a builtin module. As a regular extension module it should only use public (or private-but-not-internal) APIs. In fact, I was careful to not use any internal APIs in the implementation. However, some have crept in. The usage of internal API should be replaced with public (or private) API. If necessary, new API should be added.
