I like the idea of renaming the header files, but I expect there is a
lot more opportunity for breaking code that you estimate.  I did a
search on google.com/codesearch and found seven external packages that
include Python.h and object.h (before I gave up).

I assume we expect people won't include it, because it is also
included in object.h.  But they do it.  Is there documentation that
says you shouldn't import it?
