Prefer <code>&amp;str</code> over <code>String</code> in parameters, return <code>String</code>.</li>\n<li>Prefer <code>Bound&lt;'py, T&gt;</code> over <code>Py&lt;T&gt;</code> for ergonomic, lifetime-checked references (PyO3 0.22+).</li>\n<li>Release the GIL with <code>py.allow_threads()</code> for CPU-intensive Rust code.
