Cython is a Python compiler. This means that it can compile normal
Python code without changes (with a few obvious exceptions of some as-yet
unsupported language features

*integer types used in arithmetic expressions*, as Cython is unable to ensure
that an overflow would not occur (and so falls back to ``object`` in case
Python's bignums are needed). To allow inference of C integer types, set the

``infer_types`` :ref:`directive <compiler-directives>` to ``True``. This directive
does a work similar to the ``auto`` keyword in C++ for the readers who are familliar
with this language feature. It can be of great help to cut down on the need to type
everything, but it also can lead to surprises. Especially if one isn't familiar with
arithmetic expressions with c types. A quick overview of those
can be found `here <https://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/int/sx4cb.html>`_.
