But that doesn't work at the C level, you either compile something in or
not. So you can't apply it to the (presumably) speed-critical c(p)def
functions, only to plain Python functions where overhead wasn't much of an
issue to start with.
Also, in terms of user experience it is much preferable to have the
citation tracking switchable at runtime.
