Just in case you meant "making all C functions that are declared in a .pxd
file 'api' by default" rather than "all functions", then I'm just fine with that.

But note that I will need the "api" keyword itself until there is a way to
prevent methods of extension types from getting publicly exported (we talked
about that a while ago).
