Which kind of usage do you see in Cython?
Mainly caching, I guess. We could avoid global/module name lookups in some cases, especially inside of loops.
Off-topic (PEP 510):
I really want to experiment automatic generation of Cython code from the Python using profiling to discover function parameters types. Then use the PEP 510 to attach the fast Cython code to a Python function, but fallback to bytecode if the types are different. See the example of builtin functions in the PEP: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0510/#using-builtin-function
Before having something fully automated, we can use some manual steps, like annotate manually function types, compile manually the code, etc.
Sounds like Cython's "Fused Types" could help here: http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/fusedtypes.html It's essentially a generic functions implementation and you get a dispatch either at compile time or runtime, depending on where (Python/Cython) and how you call a function. Stefan
