Right, I /was/ hallucinating about serialno -- good catch.

Mysterious little integers still suck, though ;-)  If you're going to
store it in a byte, then you can #define semi-meaningful letter codes
instead; e.g.,

#define _PYMALLOC_OBJECT_ID 'o'
#define _PYMALLOC_MEM_ID 'm'

The place where those are defined would be a good place to document what
the heck they mean too.
