       'externpy' is a static structure that describes which of the
       extern "Python" functions is called.  It has got fields 'name' and
       'type_index' describing the function, and more reserved fields
       that are initially zero.  These reserved fields are set up by
       ffi.def_extern(), which invokes _ffi_def_extern_decorator() above.

       'args' is a pointer to an array of 8-byte entries.  Each entry
       contains an argument.  If an argument is less than 8 bytes, only
       the part at the beginning of the entry is initialized.  If an
       argument is 'long double' or a struct/union, then it is passed
       by reference.

       'args' is also used as the place to write the result to
       (directly, even if more than 8 bytes).  In all cases, 'args' is
       at least 8 bytes in size.

       '_cffi_call_python' function pointer directed execution here;

       uninitialized below.  For example, 'externpy' would still
       contain NULLs even though it was correctly set up, or
       'interpreter_lock' (the GIL inside CPython) would still be seen
       as NULL, or 'autoInterpreterState' (used by
