+/* Capsule objects let you wrap a C "void *" pointer in a Python
+ object. They're a way of passing data through the Python interpreter
+ without creating your own custom type.
+
+ Capsules are used for communication between extension modules.
+ They provide a way for an extension module to export a C interface
+ to other extension modules, so that extension modules can use the
+ Python import mechanism to link to one another.
+
+ For more information, please see "c-api/capsule.html" in the
+ documentation.
