I'm not sure that this degree of smartness would really
be a good idea. I'd worry that if I made a type error
somewhere, the compiler would go off and spend a few
hours generating umpteen zillion versions of the code
instead of stopping and telling me something was wrong.
I think so too.
Cython has a square-bracket syntax for C++ templates. Why not defer the
whole problem to the C++ compiler? Just emit the proper C++.
Not everyone uses C++. And the C++ compiler cannot adapt the code to
specific Python object types.
