But we do that. The CEP specifies that if you have

def f(floating x): return x**2

then "f[double]" will refer to the specialization where 
floating==double, and calling f[double](3.4f) will make the float be 
upcast to a double.

There's no [] within the function definition, but there's no "prior art" 
for how that would look within Cython.
