Integrate into Cython test suite later

GOAL: implement nogil option in cdef class (extension types)
and native memory manager (refcount based) that does not
depend on cpython's memory manager and that does not require GIL.
HINT: look at C++ standard library (that works very nicely with Cython)
Cython documentation if here: http://docs.cython.org/en/latest/
Basic usage: http://docs.cython.org/en/latest/src/quickstart/build.html
Tutorial: http://docs.cython.org/en/latest/src/tutorial/cython_tutorial.html
Language: http://docs.cython.org/en/latest/src/userguide/language_basics.html
Extension types: http://docs.cython.org/en/latest/src/userguide/extension_types.html
Extension Types are the "pure cython" classes that I want to be able to
use without depending on cpython GIL (and in essence runtime, memory manager, etc.)
Cython memory allocation: http://docs.cython.org/en/latest/src/tutorial/memory_allocation.html
Parallelism: http://docs.cython.org/en/latest/src/userguide/parallelism.html
Explains how nogil is posisble in cython for anything that
only relies on C libraries that are multi-threaded

"""
This is a cdef class which is also called
a extensino type. It is a kind of C struct
that also acts as a python object.
We would like to be able to define "nogil"
extension types:

where all methods are "nogil" and memory
allocation does not depend on python runtime

This method is both callable from python and pure "cython".
