Some way of requesting this manually might be useful, but
I don't think I'd like it to happen automatically. Slinging
raw pointers around in Python isn't something to be done
lightly -- even if all the code that dereferences it is
in Cython, there are problems with managing the lifetime
of whatever it references.
