Re: [Cython] RFC: an inline_ function that dumps c/c++ code to the code emitter

And it would be a step back for the nice auto-conversion facilities you care about, e.g.

py_func(c_func(py_value))

would become

c_value = py_value cdef some_type c_ret inline_cpp "c_ret = c_func(c_value)" py_func(c_ret)

It's just choosing a smaller unit (line vs. file) to swap between languages.

And on this note it would also encourage use of the Python/C API (over swapping "back" to Python) which is often a dangerous step backwards.
