Because you *intentionally* make things complicated. The refused pull 
request 392 could actually make dependency checking simpler by treating 
.pxd and .pxi files more alike.

The difference is that such preprocessing will be external to Cython, 
which will make the build process more complex. You need to figure out 
what to do with the files generated by the templating and you need to 
get dependency checking right... I must admit that I am quite happy that 
Cython solves these problems for me.

Do you have an example of a project which actually uses such 
templating/preprocessing?
