> 1. Py_SETREF

+1: obvious name

> 2. Py_DECREF_REPLACE

-1: too long

> 3. Py_REPLACE

0: less explicit than but: not mention of reference

> 4. Py_SET_POINTER

-1: a reference is not a pointer

> 5. Py_SET_ATTR

-1: it's not an attribute

> 6. Py_REPLACE_REF

+0.5: close to Py_SETREF, but longer and if I recall correctly "set"
is more common than "replace" in the Python language
