Yes, it will be concise about Pyrex, so I could set this aside (but as it is
mentioned when talking about importing a Python type like complex, I thought
about telling everything about this syntax).

Yes, you're probably right. Usually, people won't use this. I'll think about
it.

OK, so it is a very narrow field of application.

Thank you for the explanation.
