[Cython] On the topic of wrapper classes

[Robert Bradshaw]

This feels a lot like C++ operator overloading...

I'm not a fan of _as_parameter_, but maybe an "as foo_t" kind of  
attribute that it would use every time it needed to convert it to a  
foo_t (not just as a parameter, but in assignment, etc.) Certainly  
something like this could be useful, but I'm not sure if it's needed.
