[Pyrex] Does __Pyx_ImportType need to check struct sizes? (Cython-relevant, too)

As far as I remember, yes. Pyrex has no way of knowing
whether a cimported extension type was defined using
Pyrex or not. It just relies on the C compiler knowing
the size of the object struct, which it should do in
either case.

Changing this would require adding some kind of syntax
for declaring that an extension type is a Pyrex-defined
one, and it would make non-Pyrex extension types into
second-class citizens in some respects.
