It's was the middle of the night in Norway when you posted that :-)

Anyway, I'm 1 on ~x meaning x.conjugate(), because I always vote for making 
Cython more like Python and less like C.

I can do the stuff necessarry for conjugate(), or give you hints, which do you 
want? I won't be able to do it for another day.
