Subject: gh-149716: Document PySlot_DATA for Py_mod_gil and Py_mod_multiple_interpreters ... 
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=11c93d6df3c8cc6b533da3e85bded37102497ef5;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

gh-149716: Document PySlot_DATA for Py_mod_gil and Py_mod_multiple_interpreters (GH-150053)

Add short code examples mirroring the existing Py_mod_abi example,
so it is clear which slot definition macro (PySlot_DATA, PySlot_INT64,
or PySlot_UINT64) to use for these two slots.
