Alexandre Vassalotti <alexan...@peadrop.com> added the comment:

The motivation behind the restriction was to prevent the tp_doc member
to get truncated. Since tp_doc is a C string, it cannot contains embeded
null bytes.

However, it seems tp_doc is not used at all for heap types. So, I don't
mind lifting the restriction.
