Looking at Guido's comment, Cython must be able to compile all valid 
Python if this will have any chance of success.

Is the plan to include Cython in the standard library? I don't think a 
large external dependency like Cython will be accepted unless it's a 
part of the CPython distribution.

Why stop with the standard library? Why not implement the whole CPython 
interpreter in Cython?
