In the light of Antoine's and Stephan's feedback I think this can be reconsidered -- while I want to take a cautious stance about resource consumption I don't want to stand in the way of progress.

The only way is to define a base class in C and then extend it in pure-Python. This isn't too hard usually, though. This could potentially make it much more complicated to adding typing support to NumPy. numpy.ndarray is defined in C.
