I wish that where the case, but I don't think so -- there is a LOT of
weight behind the idea of something being "built-in" and/or "official". So
folks do still right extensions using the raw C API.

Some note recommending Cython in the core docs about the C API would be
great.

And we don't use Cython in the standard library, do we?
