The names of some of the functions could use some work:

Py_STACKREF_TAG
Py_STACKREF_TAG_DEFERRED
Py_STACKREF_UNTAG_BORROWED
Py_STACKREF_UNTAG_OWNED

Maybe the following:

// instead of Py_STACKREF_TAG
// Converts a PyObject * to a PyStackRef, stealing the reference
PyStackRef_StealRef(PyObject*) -> PyStackRef

// instead of Py_NewRef_StackRef(Py_STACKREF_TAG_DEFERRED(...));
// Converts a PyObject * to a PyStackRef, with a new reference
PyStackRef_NewRef(PyObject*) -> PyStackRef

// instead of Py_STACKREF_UNTAG_BORROWED
PyStackRef_Get(PyStackRef) -> PyObject * 
// or maybe
PyStackRef_GET(PyStackRef) -> PyObject * 

// instead of Py_STACKREF_UNTAG_OWNED
PyStackRef_StealObject -> PyObject *

I don't think we should have a function that only does what Py_STACKREF_TAG_DEFERRED currently does -- instead oI think we should have a function that effectively does the combo Py_NewRef_StackRef(Py_STACKREF_TAG_DEFERRED()) but more efficiently.

Additionally, instead of Py_STACKREF_TAG(NULL) let's have a macro for the constant, i.e. something like #define Py_STACKREF_NULL ({_PyStackRef) { .bits = 0 });

• Would you please clean-up the formatting of the functions? I gave one example of function below.
• Let's revert the move of _PyObject_SetDeferredRefcount. From my local testing, it doesn't look like it's necessary in this PR. If we run into circular imports, we can do a better refactoring as they come up with @ericsnowcurrently's suggestion.

A few more minor comments, but otherwise LGTM.

I'm still not thrilled with the names we have (I know, I suggested a bunch of them...), but given that it's an internal-only header we can update them later if we come up with something better.

Right now we have four conversion functions:

• PyObject *PyStackRef_Get(_PyStackRef)
• PyObject *PyStackRef_StealObject(_PyStackRef)
• _PyStackRef PyStackRef_StealRef(PyObject *)
• _PyStackRef PyStackRef_NewRefDeferred(PyObject *)

There's a lot of similarity between them, but I don't think the naming conventions currently do a good job of sigifying that.
