.. c:macro:: Py_LOCAL(type)
Declare a function returning the specified *type* using a fast-calling
qualifier for functions that are local to the current file.
Semantically, this is equivalent to ``static type``.
.. c:macro:: Py_LOCAL_INLINE(type)
Equivalent to :c:macro:`Py_LOCAL` but additionally requests the function
be inlined.
.. c:macro:: Py_MAX(x, y)
Return the maximum value between ``x`` and ``y``.
