Actually, that's not 100% accurate. The C code calls the same functions. Most of the extra cruft is that it needs to do all of this error checking and type- dispatch, while in C++ you can have RAII and templates. > Even more important here: almost none > of this code should be written anymore anyway, C++ or not.

At least last time I read up on it, cython was not able to do multi-type code, i.e., have code that works on arrays of multiple types. Does it support it now?
