[Cython] Cython 0.16

[mark florisson]

Hm ok I'll disable them then. Pointers and some other dtypes are also
not supported yet. As for the documentation, have you guys reviewed
the documentation for fused types and memoryviews? For instance this
is the introduction for memoryviews:

"
Typed memoryviews can be used for efficient access to buffers. It is
similar to the current buffer support, but has more features and
cleaner syntax. A memoryview can be used in any context (function
parameters, module-level, cdef class attribute, etc) and can be
obtained from any object that exposes the PEP 3118 buffer interface.
"

but I'm not sure this new functionality won't confuse users of the old
buffer support.

For fused types, cython.numeric only includes long, double and double
complex. I think that should be changed to short, int, long, float,
double, float complex and double complex. I was deliberately avoiding
long long and long double as they (if not used as a base type) would
be preferred over the others and may be a lot slower. But then, such
usage wouldn't be very useful. Should I include them then?
