The interpreter can be restarted by calling `initialize_interpreter` again.
Modules created using pybind11 can be safely re-initialized. However, Python
itself cannot completely unload binary extension modules and there are several
caveats with regard to interpreter restarting. All the details can be found
in the CPython documentation. In short, not all interpreter memory may be
freed, either due to reference cycles or user-created global data.
