First off, I would like to say I think this would be a very good  
project. I would clarify that the changes made to the Cython language  
are not to make natively it know about STL, but rather extending the  
syntax to more easily wrap polymorphic and templated functions/ 
classes so one can use them from Cython. Being able to wrap all of  
the STL library is a very useful and concrete goal.

Note that the application period is drawing to a close tomorrow, but  
feedback can be taken and the application updated until the close of  
the filtering process.

Hopefully we will have a good, pythonic syntax mostly nailed down for  
doing this before the coding period starts.
