Technically it would not be too difficult to allow
cdef struct MyStruct:
void foo(self):
# self is pure MyStruct, perhaps stack-allocated
in Cython, and transform
mystructinstance.foo()
into
__mangled_MyStruct_foo(mystructinstance)
The question is whether we want it or not, perhaps it would just be
confusing to provide OO-like syntax on something that's neither reference
counted nor polymorphic.
Also the line has to be drawn somewhere before we rewrite C++ :-) So I
don't know what I think about it myself, but it's not too difficult
technically.
