Granted.  In my case at least, when Pyrex-ifying "B", I would usually be
ready to fix the meaning of `range()'.  If for some reason, debugging or
otherwise, I am not ready to that, I would just let Pyrex do the ultra-safe
thing, that is, using the Python API all over for the slightest move...

But as Greg wrote a few minutes ago, this might be addressed either later
or much later.  So our discussion becomes a bit academical for now :-).
