It was and it wasn't. We don't really want to expose it, but if we don't then Cython and other C extensions will access the internal fields directly, which is worse.

Now that we have an unstable API, it should probably be part of that.
I'd like all code object C APIs to be unstable, but it's probably too late for that.

Maybe rename it toPyUnstableCode_GetFirstFree?
