At this stage I do believe you might have a hard time getting this
into 4.0 given the time frame and the ToDo list, but we will see what
happens :)

Yeah, I can imagine.
Is this patch splittable in any sane set of patches, i.e. for coercion
the big patch bomb did not go in at once, but only the initial
infrastructure, then later one by one classes were converted? If this
is possible with this patch or is it "all or nothing"

Aren't there major design issues like dynamic classes to be discussed
first? You mentioned a design document you were writing with Florent -
is that around yet? The ToDo list also mentions that you are still
working on having this work with Cython classes. Can you elaborate on
that a little?

Ok, but I am pretty sure due to many doctesting patches as well as
work on ReSTifying documentation many patches will be touched.
