Research direction

Read the linked Python C API documentation for PyModule_GetState, then inspect Boost.Python's module initialization and deallocation paths. Define support for module state across multi-phase initialization and sub-interpreters, including the required memory-safety workaround and deallocation functions; the issue names no files or tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For multi-phase initialization and sub-interpreters it would be useful to have an access to module state https://docs.python.org/3.9/c-api/module.html#c.PyModule_GetState

It also requires some memory safety workaround and deallocation functions defined.
