[Cython] Initializing var to struct?

[Hoyt Koepke]

Hi,

Here was my use case:

I wanted to have a single structure that holds a bunch of option
parameters for my algorithm.  This structure would get passed around
between some of the functions, and some of the particular options are
in the inner loop of things and so I wanted access to be quick.  I
wanted to put the defaults in the structure definition and then allow
the user to change them if needed after creating the structure.  I
ended up using an extension class w/ constructor to hold the options,
which I think is a better solution, but perhaps there are other use
cases.
