No, I meant plain "def" functions and methods (including __init__ and other
specials), stuff you can see in dir() and help(). I'd just like to make them
visible to things like help() and doc generation /somehow/, be it using normal
Python reflection on functions or an epydoc specific signature string in
docstrings (sure, you could add them by hand, but then, you have a code
generator in place already, so what's the point).

:) I think "cython" is actually the perfect name. Resembles Jython but in C,
fits CPython and the "c" can also be short for "compiled".
