No, you're not overlooking anything, that's why.  It's for files that 
have getsetdef / methoddef / typeobject structures all over the place 
instead of keeping them all at the end.  My mindset is trying to avoid 
requiring big changes for Argument Clinic support like "step 87: now 
move all your getsetdef / methoddef / typeobject to the end of your 
file, below the accumulator output block".  Argument Clinic is 
contributing enough churn as it is don'tchathink!
