That's funny, my users are very happy with how fast it works in Boost.Python. I don't see any reason it should have to be much less efficient in pure Python for most cases... the important "type categories" could be builtins. And as others have pointed out, it could even be used to get certain optimzations.
Time to write a PEP. Maybe there's an implementation trick you haven't told us about? --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
