For my part, I'm not sure I'd really want a big chunk of
Pyrex code getting included in all my files, when most of
the time I'm not using most of it. The Pyrex compiler is
pure Python, right down to scanning the characters, so I
don't like to give it more work to do than necessary.

If the headers are split up into small chunks so you can
just include more or less what you want, that would be
okay, though.
