I wonder if you would consider

   cdef int[::,:] arr

to indicate that a dimension might have strides in the first dimension 
different from 1. And similar

   cdef int[:,::] arr
   cdef int[::,::] arr

That would allow you to ignore strides and speed up indexing for most 
arrays. The most common case is unit strides.
