I understand the concern is not about changing PyCFunction, but about
changing PyMethodDef, which would get another field.

I think you can avoid adding a field to PyMethodDef, by providing a
PyMethodDefEx structure, which has the extra field, and is referred-to
from (a new slot in) the type object. The slots in the type object
that refer to PyMethodDefs would either get set to NULL, or
initialized with a copy of the PyMethodDefEx with the extra field
removed.
