It is completely orthogonal to the "with" statement, but only almost to "cdef double a[size]". "cdef double a[size]" should probably be implemented as one specific type, and what has been considered natural in the discussion until now (I think) is pure double* with getmem and auto-free. That's what the syntax suggests anyway. This means that the "default" Cython array object then probably won't support that standard. Which I now think is fine anyway. I'm just saying that with a slightly different syntax, it could be more natural to support the buffer API with "native" Cython arrays. But one can do both. Or are you suggesting that the array allocation syntax you propose can have overridable allocators and create many different types of arrays?
