I feel like I've missed something important, but, why not just call it 
"Python"? ;-)

It's a substantial patch, but from what I understand it's a huge 
performance improvement and completely compatible, both at the C API and 
Python source levels.

Is there any reason this should be a separate project rather than just 
be rolled in to the core?  Obviously once issues like the 'Cell' macro 
are dealt with.
