IMHO performance and hiding implementation details are exclusive. You should either use the C API with impl. details for best performances, or use a "limited" C API for best compatibility. Since I would like to not touch the C API with impl. details, you can imagine to have two compilation modes: one for best performances on CPython, one for best compatibility (ex: compatible with PyPy). I'm not sure how the "compilation mode" will be selected.
