The problem is that when one reads
cdef int aaa bbbb
there's no indication as to the meaning of this. We also want to be
sure to disallow this syntax everywhere but this one context. On the
other hand the quotation syntax
cdef int aaa "bbb"
already has (widespread) meaning of establishing a C alias of the name
in question which is essentially what we're trying to do here.
I'm still, however, leaning towards the @property syntax (which we
could allow for non-extern cdef classes as well).

Using "PyArray_DIMS" with quotes but without parentheses would indeed be
confusing to users and difficult to implement, so "PyArray_DIMS(*)"
where the * is TBD seem nicer.
It sounds like the jury is still out. In order to compare the solutions,
I will move forward with the @property decorator syntax, but to keep it
simple I will start small: only getters and specifically for
CFuncDefNodes. Then if you still want to look at the other option I will
turn my "experiment into a PR.
