It's certainly something I'd be interested in attempting, but I feel
like I'm lacking some concrete direction. Some documentation about how
to get the proper environment (is it as simple as `~/venv/pypy/bin/pip
install numpy` using the cpython numpy?) and how new tests should be
written would be really helpful.
