I see; that's not very informative.

What ctypes does is create a specialized object to
represent a particular c function, variable, array or
struct; then you use those objects as part of the
interface when you call the c function you're going
after.

Possibly he's got something in mind to streamline
the construction of the supporting objects for
a given C API call.

It does, however, seem like something that would
be appropriate for function decorators.
