Add PyDict_SetDefaultRef to the Limited API #141726
Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
It's a useful (thread safe) function, and so it'd be useful to have direct access rather than needing to go through a Python function call.
(I will prepare a PR for this shortly so no-one else need do anything, please)
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
No response given

I've raised it on the C API working group and it's been approved - capi-workgroup/decisions#85. The drop-down above doesn't let me choose that as an option.

This is done I believe - it shouldn't be backported so there's nothing more to do

Correct, it's only added to the limited C API version 3.15.
