Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Inlong_bitwise (used for bitwise operations in ints with 2 or more digits) an incref is performed in the arguments. This leads to refcount contention in the free-threading build. By avoiding the incref/decref there is no contention.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
