No, this thing was added as a quick hack. As I wrote in my other mail,
this should be generalized to a form where the same mechanism can be
reused also in different places.

It might also be desirable to not tie it in with Ctypes at all; [*] we
might just want to have a scipy.CFunction which would provide the
restricted subset of arbitrary parameter passing we want to support, and
in a form that it easy to deal with in C. As you can see from the `quad`
C code, Ctypes is a bit painful here.

[*] Of course, conversion from Ctypes function pointers could be
    provided.
