    The PyUnicode_CHECK_INTERNED() macro uses the PyASCIIObject structure which is *excluded* from the limited C API:

    /* Use only if you know it's a string */
#define PyUnicode_CHECK_INTERNED(op) \
    (((PyASCIIObject *)(op))->state.interned)

    Using this macro in the limited C API doesn't work.

    I propose to remove it from the limited C API.

    IMO it's not a good idea to fix the function in the limited C API by converting it to a regular function hiding the implementation details and so working at the ABI level. We should not expose such "implementation detail" (if a string is "interned or not") in the *limited* C API.

    +1, PyUnicodeObject/PyASCIIObject is excluded from the limited API since Python 3.2, so it wasn't possible to use this macro.
