Sharing objects between interpreters is bad and is causing complex bugs. See a 
recent example of an object traveling from one interpreter to another and then 
causing a random crash on Windows related to the garbage collector:

I would prefer to discuss that in other issues like bpo-40255 or bpo-39511, and 
focus this issue on fixing the static types implementation when Python is 
embedded in an application.

Hum, this issue is not really related to sub-interpreters. My proposed PR only  
changes Py_Finalize(): the main interpreter.
