I don't know about all the other examples, but in a setup.py that cries out
for a more declarative approach: put all that in a dict, and call
Extension('_decimal', **build_params).
In general, I think setup.py modules should be a lot for declarative
anyway, but at a glance, that sure looks like you'd have the same set for
multiple extensions.
I suspect that quite a few of the cases where folks are doing a lot of
same-name kwargs passing could hve been better written with an intermediate
dict. I'm not saying I don't do it myself, but honestly, it's a bit out of
lazyness -- so I'm thinking that new syntax that encourages this style
might be a bad idea.
