If this layer is written in RPython, features like overload resolution and C++ methods can be written in application-level python without worring about safety.
I think that in this area, any worries of safety went out of the window when CPython officially adopted ctypes. So it's completely fine if the application-level dispatching layer has access to unsafe features, as long as user applications that only use the dispatching layer are shielded from crashes.
