Heh, that should have had a comment :) Cython utility codes are
inserted at the AST level in ModuleNode (the merge_in method). This is
done since there is no actual C code at that point. I think it could
generate it and capture it as well, but it's probably more
complicated, and this works well with the name mangling schemes and
such.
