It isn't that simple - this isn't a mere matter of checking

the C layer we have many distinct data types - eg int, unsigned int,
long long, unsigned long long, which all map to the same python data
type.
Is it worth improving the C code to do relaxed parsing (if the C type is
int, but the caller passes a long long with a value that fits in an int,
to accept the caller instead of rejecting it as a type mismatch)?
