the pattern of swapping out builtin methods (and perhaps
functions) with more optimized C versions is something that perhaps it
would be good to be able to do more generally, rather than hard coding
the list into Optimize.py.
Right. All that would really be needed is a way to define default values
for arguments of builtin methods. Then most of the method optimisations
could be moved into Builtin.py.
BTW, the idea of the overlay stuff Robert referred to was that we could
add syntax to pxd files so that the "unicode" type and its alternative
method implementations could be fleshed out in a pxd file (and the same
with other standard library or third-party types that are not written
with Cython support in mind, but may have a C API that we want to
dispatch to instead of their Python API).
