I am trying to split off reportlab C extensions to simplify installations and

A simple extension is easily converted to being an abi3 module. However, another has a custom type which uses the old

it looks like I have to use a different mechanism to setup custom types in the
abi3 world.
In the docs I see this
"Also, since PyTypeObject is only part of the Limited API as an opaque struct, any extension modules using static types
must be compiled for a specific Python minor version."
So it seems I must switch to using a heap allocated type or keep compiling in
the old way.
I looked in Modules/xxlimited_35.c, but that seems much more complex and
provides for a type which supports GC.
Are there any ABI3 examples using the old style strategy?
