With core code sorted out, stdlib and 3rd party extension modules are left to sort out. I see the following possibilities: * leave `_Py_IDENTIFIER()` alone (it is already disallowed in core code) * change `_Py_IDENTIFIER()` to create static string objects (then get rid of global state) * get rid of `_Py_IDENTIFIER()` a. provide a public alternative (needs a PEP) b. first work with 3rd party projects to stop using it
