    Re: Manually prompting garbage collection

    what magic do you expect the "manual garbage collection" to do here that
    the DECREF doesn't already do?
    The DECREF decrements the reference count, but does not immediately prompt
    garbage collection when the reference count drops to zero; that garbage
    collection does not appear to occur until I return from the particular C
    function I am in the middle of executing.

    Ideally, I want to explicitly prompt garbage collection in the middle
    of a C function, without first returning to the larger Python interpreter.
