+       completely concurrently from unrelated threads.  It assumes
+       that we don't hold the GIL before (if it exists), and we don't
+       hold it afterwards.
+
+       (What it really does used to be completely different in Python 2
+       and Python 3, with the Python 2 solution avoiding the spin-lock
+       around the Py_InitializeEx() call.  However, after recent changes
+       to CPython 2.7 (issue #358) it no longer works.  So we use the
+       Python 3 solution everywhere.)
+
+       This initializes Python by calling Py_InitializeEx().
+       Important: this must not be called concurrently at all.
+       So we use a global variable as a simple spin lock.  This global
+       variable must be from 'libpythonX.Y.so', not from this
+       cffi-based extension module, because it must be shared from
+       different cffi-based extension modules.
+
+       In Python < 3.8, we choose
+       _PyParser_TokenNames[0] as a completely arbitrary pointer value
+       that is never written to.  The default is to point to the
+       string "ENDMARKER".  We change it temporarily to point to the
+       next character in that string.  (Yes, I know it's REALLY
+       obscure.)
+
+       In Python >= 3.8, this string array is no longer writable, so
+       instead we pick PyCapsuleType.tp_version_tag.  We can't change
+       Python < 3.8 because someone might use a mixture of cffi
+       embedded modules, some of which were compiled before this file
+       changed.
+
+       In Python >= 3.12, this stopped working because that particular
+       tp_version_tag gets modified during interpreter startup.  It's
+       arguably a bad idea before 3.12 too, but again we can't change
+       that because someone might use a mixture of cffi embedded
+       modules, and no-one reported a bug so far.  In Python >= 3.12
+       we go instead for PyCapsuleType.tp_as_buffer, which is supposed
+       to always be NULL.  We write to it temporarily a pointer to
+       a struct full of NULLs, which is semantically the same.
