Martin, I've thought about it more, and I think it's fine to use a single type. It will surely simplify many things, and that alone might help us win back some of the inefficiency this introduces. And it is best for Python-level users.

Woohoo! I totally support this idea (along with anything else that comes up to simplify the C API; I almost feel like we need a dumbed-down API along with the full-powered API behind it). I also support Martin doing the work =) (but that's mostly because I know he is in a good position to do it well).
