Hey guys, I figured I'd just chime in here. Over in DyND-town, we've spent a lot of time figuring out how to structure DyND callables, which are actually more general than NumPy gufuncs. We've just recently got them to a place where we are very happy, and are able to represent a wide range of

There is certainly good precedent for the approach you suggest. Shortly after Nathaniel mentioned the rewrite to me, I looked up d-pointers as a possible technique: https://wiki.qt.io/D-Pointer. If we allow arbitrary kwargs for the new functions, is that something you would want to note in the
