/* Note:

* #ifdef STATIC_TUPLE_MODULE // are we exporting or importing
* static RETVAL FUNCNAME PROTO;
* #else
* static RETVAL (*FUNCNAME) PROTO;
* #endif
*
* And then in _static_tuple_c.c we have
* int setup_c_api()
* {
* _export_function(module, #FUNCNAME, FUNCNAME, #PROTO);
* }
*
* And then in _static_tuple_c.h import_##MODULE
* struct function_definition functions[] = {
* {#FUNCNAME, (void **)&FUNCNAME, #RETVAL #PROTO},
* ...
* {NULL}};
*
* And some similar stuff for types. However, this would mean that we would
* need a way for the C preprocessor to build up a list of definitions to be
* generated, and then expand that list at the appropriate time.
* I would guess there would be a way to do this, but probably not without a
* lot of magic, and the end result probably wouldn't be very pretty to
* maintain. Perhaps python's dynamic nature has left me jaded about writing
* boilerplate....
