There is not one currently. Cython has provisions for sharing such
low-level access to other Cython extensions, but I'm not sure how well
it works for exporting data pointers and function pointers to general
C/++ code. We could probably package the necessities into a struct and
export a pointer to it via a PyCapsule.
