 Apart from writing fast code, one of the main use cases of Cython is
 to call external C libraries from Python code.  As Cython code
 compiles down to C code itself, it is actually trivial to call C

 Imagine you need an efficient way to store integer values in a FIFO
 queue.  Since memory really matters, and the values are actually
