I hadn=E2=80=99t seen this commit series until now but I like it! :-) I=E2=80=99ve always thought that smobs-as-structs would be a good thing, not only to reduce code size and simplify procedure dispatch, but also to remove arbitrary limits like on the number of smob types. Keep up! Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99, amazed by the pace at which things have been falling into pl= ace over the last couple of weeks!
