Can we make the API version more readable?

Actually, there’s been an issue that has been bothering me, why not use macros to represent Python version? Using raw hexadecimal numbers seems a bit odd, even though it doesn’t affect functionality. I think it might be beneficial to add a macro similar to KERNEL_VERSION to represent a Python version. This would make the code more readable when defining different versions of the API.

#if !defined(Py_LIMITED_API) || Py_LIMITED_API+0 >= 0x03070000

replace with

#if !defined(Py_LIMITED_API) || Py_LIMITED_API+0 >= Py_VERSION(3, 7)

So, it’s usage is obvious. It’s original version can be used

_Py_VERSION(3, 7, 2)
_Py_VERSION(3, 8, 1)
