[Cython] PEP 3121 on extension module initialisation in Py3

[Lisandro Dalcin]

Ups!... I didn't know this was already available! I've just reviewed
the generated code, and the implementation of all this seems just
perfect and amazing!!

But I would like to know something. In the example available in the
link you pointed me we have:

cdef api void activate(Vehicle *v):
   .....

and then in the generated 'delorean_api.h' we have

static void (*activate)(struct Vehicle *);

Then the question is: Why the C name of the function pointer
'activate' is not mangled, using something like this (as it is
similarly done for C type objects):

static void (*__pyx_cfun_8delorean_activate)(struct Vehicle *);
#define activate __pyx_cfun_8delorean_activate
