First, what's the use case? Just backporting an internal Stackless API isn't a reasonable request. Second, this tells that there is a finalization function, but not what the function is. How is the GC supposed to find it? Third, the implementation looks quite suboptimal. Better define a new slot method, such as tp_needs_finalizing, or tp_get_finalizer.
