I would like to see this implemented. I'd suggest the Python style
syntax using parenthesis and not curly braces, so it won't look like
you're building a broken dictionary. 

cdef int blah_table[5] = (0, 1, 2, 42, 255)

I'd also like to support unsized arrays:

cdef int blah_table[] = (0, 1, 2, 42, 255)

And this may make sense in structs and such too, where pyrex doesn't
need the size at compile time. If need be, the C compiler can get you
the size using an ugly application of sizeof.
