 Would that make sense? If you're doing something with the result, you need
 that it's not `NULL`, so the `except NULL` can actually be an additional
 sanity check (IIRC, Cython raises a `SystemError` when there is no
 exception set if there should be one. That's safer that a segfault because
 you forgot to check for a `NULL`).
