Perhaps a "argument clinic on steroids" would be the proper
approach. So, extensions would mostly be written in C. However, we
would have a pre-processor that does some "magic" to make using the
Python API cleaner. Defining new types using static structures, for
example, is not the way to build a good API. The other approach
would be something like mypyc + cffi. I agree with others that
Cython is not the right tool.
