I'm not writing my patch that way; it would be too cumbersome for what
is ostensibly an easy, light-weight API. If you're going that route

Well, that's exactly the point, given a PyObject* tag, you can add any
kind of type identification you need, including some Python type. (It
is assumed that the actual pointer you're passing is not a PyObject
itself, of course, otherwise you wouldn't need PyCObject at all.)
I have no desire to compete with your patch, it was a suggestion for
(what I see as) improvement.
