But that would even shadow the operator entirely. The __getitem__ method is meant to provide a Python/Cython-level operator implementation, whereas operator[] declares the C++ level operation. The inline method might even want to use the C++ operator, or do its entirely own thing. Both are really separate levels. OTOH, if users actually provide their own implementation, I guess their intention is rather clear about *not* wanting the original C++ operator for some reason, even if it's implemented. So maybe shadowing isn't actually wrong here. Can't say if it really makes a difference which of the two inline methods above we allow or which one would appear cleaner. Adapting the operator interfaces in Cython should be possible in both cases.
