There were several suggestions for naming new macros which replace old
value with new value and then (x)decref old value.
#define Py_XXX(ptr, value) \
{ \
PyObject *__tmp__ = ptr; \
ptr = new_value; \
Py_DECREF(__tmp__); \
}
Listed in order of receipt:
1. Py_(X)SETREF.
2. Py_(X)ASSIGN.
3. Py_(X)DECREC_REPLACE.
4. Py_REF_ASSIGN (Py_XREF_ASSIGN? Py_REF_XASSIGN?).
5. Py_(X)REPLACE.
6. Py_(X)STORE
7. Py_CLEAR_AND_SET.
8. Py_SET_AND_(X)DECREF.
9. Py_(X)DECREF_AND_ASSIGN.
10. Py_ASSIGN_AND_(X)DECREF.
11. Other...
Let's choose the least confusing names.
