I will not add PyLong_AsUnsigned*AndOverflow in my code because I don't want my code to depend on the exact implementation of PyLong.

Are you seriously calling a 50-line function "feature"?

Anyway... I propose splitting the patch in two parts:
   - "cleanup": the changes to Objects/longobject.c
   - "feature": the changes to Include/longobject.h

"cleanup" can be applied to 3.4.1 because it adds no new features and helps maintainability. Backwards compatibility will not be broken.
"feature" can then be added in 3.5. Backwards compatibility should not be broken.
