Peter Norvig suggested to merge Numpy into Cython but he didn't
mention SIMD as the reason (this one is from me). Sorry if I wasn't
clear. IIRC, the reason was to help democratize Numpy and make it
easier for users to install it. He went on to say that he talked about
it with Guido and apparently the main barrier was the release cycle.
Please check the video as I'm telling you that from memory.
