Proposed patch adds asserts for checking the type in macros PyTuple_GET_SIZE, PyList_GET_SIZE and PySet_GET_SIZE. This can help to find the misuse of these macros. Asserts already are used in macros PyBytes_GET_SIZE, PyByteArray_GET_SIZE, PyUnicode_GET_SIZE and PyDict_GET_SIZE. See also the discussion on Python-Dev: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2017-March/147628.html .

This change can break the code that uses these macros for setting the size. For example one place in odictobject.c. But I expect that such cases are rare. And all these macros are not in the limited API.
