That's not the point. The point is that making the class
private would prevent *any* use of it from another
extension module, whether Pyrex or C, without modifying
the original module and recompiling it.

Currently you can always declare a type as an external
extension type and use or subclass it, whether it was
declared in a .pxd or not. Removing the entry from the
module dict would prevent that.
