If the HAVE_GC flag is only set for object attributes, then couldn't 
PyObject* (or void*) C attributes be used instead? It would mean 
explicit Py_INCREF and Py_DECREF calls, but that is already required in 
the C version of the "tuple" module. This could be an interim solution 
until an HAVE_GC switch is provided.
