To me, that sounds like a too complicated solution for a marginal
problem. It's a bit odd that you can't use special names like INFINITY
for cdef class members, but on the other hand, I think that's a
reasonable restriction since you are generating C code, and in C you
can't name a struct member INFINITY either (at least with gcc).
