... and I found out that there is no guarantee that tp_finalize() gets called. It's meant to map 1:1 to the __del__() Python method, so Python subtypes have to explicitly call their supertype's __del__() method, otherwise it won't be executed. I don't think that's suitable for the use case in Cython, so we should stick with tp_dealloc().
