/* This structure helps managing static strings. The basic usage goes like this:

   do

       _Py_IDENTIFIER(foo);
       ...

   PyId_foo is a static variable, either on block level or file level. On first

   shutdown, all strings are released (through _PyUnicode_ClearStaticStrings).

   Alternatively, _Py_static_string allows to choose the variable name.
   _PyUnicode_FromId returns a borrowed reference to the interned string.
   _PyObject_{Get,Set,Has}AttrId are __getattr__ versions using _Py_Identifier*.
