Comment (by rws):

 > Secondly, the operations `import XYZ` and `isinstance(x, my_type)` are
 not at all negligeable. Though, in this case it is not very noticeable
 since the cost is elsewhere. But with your strategy, you are potentially
 slowing down everthing for a corner case speed up.
 This is nonsense. Look at how many instance checks you have in
 `Matrix_generic_dense.__init__`. Lots of special cases. I have no idea why
 you would try to avoid this one here.
