This is the biggest impedance mismatch that I see in this discussion. Pypy
is all about revolution, changing completely how the interpreter work to
keep a clean language for the user (python). The same should happen in
cython, a completely different backend for pypy only keeping the nice
cython language. I think there needs to be a fork of cython that don't have
any idea of reference counting and uses a mixture of cffi and a clean
c-api. But first pypy needs to have the c-api right?
