Good, this is what I hoped the answer was. So as I see it, SciPy could either:

(1) extend the cython_special API to make the pointers more available

or

(2) Talk to the Cython devs about making the function pointers Cython already creates  more available. The SciPy changes are then probably just some sort of index of the Cython pointers so that they are easy to find.
