We already use an anonymous union for PyObject. This makes the workarounds available in all public headers:
__pragma(warning(disable: 4201))
(with push/pop). Warning 4201 is specifically for anonymous unions, so let's disable for all of<Python.h>
_Py_ANONYMOUS
as__extension__
_Py_ANONYMOUS
as nothing(Note that this is only for public headers -- CPython internals use C11, which has anonymous structs/unions.)
