Sigh!  I was hoping we could get this in for 3.7.0 but I think we have run out 
of time and we really should not be making potential user-visible API changes 
at this last minute.  I did notice the new compile warning for the Windows 
non-debug build but I overlooked that some other non-Windows buildbots were 
getting them, too.  Serihy proposes a more general fix in Issue33818 but I 
don't think we should be making a change like that just prior to the release 
candidate.

And, in retrospect, I should not have considered trying to fix the stable ABI 
support at this late date, either. It looks like it has been broken for some 
time now so 3.7.0 will not be any worse.  At this point, we have Christian's 
two PRs in master now; if necessary, they could be reverted.  I will bow out of 
this discussion and let you all figure out what is best for master/3.8.  Once 
the changes for master are in and working, we could revisit the question of 
backports to 3.7 and/or 3.6 maintenance releases. I would like to both thank 
and apologize to Christian, in particular, and to Serhiy and everyone else who 
went out of their ways to try to get this in.

Lowering priority to "critical".
