Actually, I'll retract this last statement, as I rather like some of the 
consequences of that proposal (would mean that printing a "cdef 
numpy.float64 x" would be subject to NumPy's float64 formatting rules, 
for instance). (Even so, a straight approval of this now will just mean 
that I'll postpone the issue rather than implement the quicker scope 
change I proposed.)
