I'm not a fan of the aa name. For the future PRs, I propose using _self for “self argument of the wrong type, only to be used once in a cast”.
But let's not make that block this PR; aa does match the existing names here.

…pes in listobject.c (pythonGH-112820) Fix undefined behavior warnings (UBSan -fsanitize=function), for example: Objects/object.c:674:11: runtime error: call to function list_repr through pointer to incorrect function type 'struct _object *(*)(struct _object *)' listobject.c:382: note: list_repr defined here SUMMARY: UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer: undefined-behavior Objects/object.c:674:11 in
