Extending: overloading operators (e.g. for a vector class)

I don't know. It might not be documented anywhere yet --
this is all fairly new stuff.

By the way, there's one difference I should perhaps have
mentioned between the Python and C versions of operator
overloading -- in C there are no separate "reversed"
versions of the operator methods. For example, if
you do x*y and x doesn't have an nb_multiply method,
then y.nb_multiply(x, y) is done.

So, you have to be prepared for the second operand
being "self" instead of the first one, if you see
what I mean.
