I'm sorry to bring this up as people would rather code and discuss other
stuff, but, well, once things are released they tend to stick. So I'll
just raise the concern and you do what you want to do...
My concern is about the dict struct construction syntax -- from
"struct_conversion.pyx":
cdef Point p = {color: color, x: x, y: y}
That is, without string keys, but rather some magic keys. This feels
very odd to a Python eye -- especially as the coercion the other way
(from struct to dict) seems to have normal string keys.
For more brevity without typing all the " there's always the
Point(color=...), syntax, and I feel being consistent with keeping it a
normal dict is important because a later feature might be
cdef Point p
d = {"color": color, "x" : x, "y" : y}
p = d
and then these "literal dict vs. Python dict" kind of thing might be
even more confusing.
