Comment(by cwitty):
''Something else that would be really nice is an option that uses a fast
domain, if it's there, but ignores the domain parameter if it's not.''
Any suggestions for syntax for this? I'm coming up with things like (...,
domain=RIF, ignore_domain_if_no_specialized_interpreter_exists=True),
which seems cumbersome :) (I'm probably being too picky about being
precise in my parameter names).
I've vaguely planned to use _xxx_ arithmetic, but didn't do it for this
version because I don't know how to call Cython methods from C. Help
would be appreciated :)
The type(x)==type(generic_element) is a good idea. I'll implement it
eventually. (Then if I could access the _parent field from C, probably
almost all of the element interpreter slowdown would be gone; in
conjunction with _xxx_ arithmetic, it might actually be faster than the
generic Python interpreter.)
