Why not move the integer add optimization from ceval.c into PyNumber_Add
?
Granted you have an extra call on the fast path, but on the other hand
* more code could benefit from this optimization
* you don't have code related to the same operation spread in several
  files
* the ceval loop has a reduced footprint
