i'm sure there's an option to turn on warnings about this, but a thing that sucks about cython is that leaving off a single type annotation on a function sets off a chain reaction in which anything that has the mis-annotated function in its call stack slows to a crawl (because now that function is using python values that have to be dynamically allocated and converted back and forth from C values). and then i end up having to comb through the generated C to find the problem

i am simultaneously (a) glad that i tried out cython for this project, because now i'm more familiar with how it works and behaves; and (b) convinced that you should basically never use cython. [alanis morissette voice] you live, you learn

@horsewizard it's well intentioned, and it's amazing that it works as well as it does, but i can't help but feel that it is profoundly misguided
