   In particular, we can make Py immutable by making the ptr field const. Then pynew, pycopy! must be removed.

   On the safe pynext front we could add a method pynext(x, d) which returns d if there is no next item, then you can do pynext(it, nothing) or whatever.

   Aha this is actually what next does in python anyway.

   But this means we cannot have pydel!, which needs to set the ptr to NULL.

   Reviewing exports.jl and publics.jl, there is nothing exported to deprecate, but we should remove these publics:

   • Old config system: CONFIG (replace with env vars and preferences).
   • Unsafe API: getptr, pycopy!, pyisnull, pynew, PyNULL, unsafe_pynext.
   • pydel! should be renamed to unsafe_pydel.
