But I think I'll be able to lobby it in, given a good spec and some time to implement it (about a day of work, so I think this is likely to happen within a year). As Cython must understand what is going on anyway, having things like "with cython.openmp.parallell" is actually a lot easier to implement in Cython than using comments/pragmas, and looks nicer too IMO. (It means that only code generation and not the parser must be modified.)
