@Raul
I will pull new version, and try to include that also.
What is wrong with macros for inline function?
Yes, time for ufunc is reduced to almost half, for lookup table, I
am generating key from argument type and returning
the appropriated value.[1]

@Chuck
Yes I did some profiling with oprofiler for "python -m timeit -n 1000000 -s
'import numpy as np;x = np.asarray(1.0)' 'x+x'". see data sheet.[2]

As every time a ufunc is invoked, the code has to check every single data
type possible (bool, int, double, etc) until if finds the best match for
the data that the operation is being performed on. In scalar, we can send
best match, from pre-populated table. At present the implementation is not
well-structured and support only addition for int+int and float+float. [1]
