Right, "existing" Pyrex code. We are not necessarily talking about newly
developed code that uses new Pyrex features, neither are we talking about code
that uses Cython features that are not supported by Pyrex. Cython is not
Pyrex, otherwise we wouldn't have two code bases.

That aside, language compatibility between Cython and Pyrex *is* a goal. It
would be stupid to have two compilers that understand almost the same
language, and allow them to diverge in subtleties that make it impossible for
users to change between the two if they need to.

The latest discussion with Greg on the integer-loop syntax should make it
clear that Cython and Pyrex are not fundamentally diverging projects. And I
really don't think they should be.
