Not always. There are many differences between Python
classes and extension types that are not reflected in
the syntax. Special methods work differently, for
example, and extension types do not have a __dict__
by default, whereas Python classes do.

Also, it's much easier for the parser if it knows
up front what kind of class it's dealing with, and
also for the human reader.
