Good point. By the way, I started to use
tracemalloc.get_object_traceback(obj) to display where the object
comes from more and more often :-D It helps me at least in debugging.
So yeah, I would prefer to pass directly the object to the hook.

For example, I'm using it with the "source" parameter of a ResourceWarning:
https://pythondev.readthedocs.io/debug_tools.html#resourcewarning

But also when a buffer underflow or overflow is detected by debug
hooks on Python memory allocators:
https://pythondev.readthedocs.io/debug_tools.html#pythonmalloc-debug

It might also help me sometimes to be able to call
tracemalloc.get_object_traceback(obj) from a custom unraisablehook().
