value is not a variable we know about here. It makes sense for PyModule_AddStringConstant because there's a value parameter.

Instead, let's do something like this:

Suggested change
*STRINGLIB_TYPE_NAME* to *module*. The string *value* must be
``NULL``-terminated and UTF-8 encoded.
*STRINGLIB_TYPE_NAME* to *module*. The contents of the macro must be
``NULL``-terminated and UTF-8 encoded.

I think it would also make more sense to move that sentence to before "For example".
