It's not exactly a feature, rather an internal developer tool.

That being said, once it's there, it can also form a basis for end users 
who want to do Cython code generation. To make this a feature, we could see 
if we can set up a suitable entry point somewhere, such as a template class 
that we preconfigure for Cython code. However, I guess it would be best to 
see the requirements for that emerge outside of Cython first.

Well, SciPy isn't a dependency of Cython either, so I think that doesn't 
count much.
