I'll just repeat what I've already said on the Cython mailing list:
I think C types should behave like C types and Python objects like Python
objects. If a C long suddenly starts to return double when divided by
another C long, then that will be a major source of confusion on my part.
If I want the behaviour of Python integers, Cython lets me use Python
objects. I don't declare a variable cdef long if I want it to behave like
a Python int.
