Introduce notion of data type (dtype similarly to NumPy) into pychan and teach it to accept for send objects only matching that dtype. Likewise teach pychan to decode raw bytes received from underlying channel into Python object correspodningg to pychan dtype. For C dtypes, e.g. 'C.int', 'C.double' etc, contrary to chan of python objects, the transfer can be done without depending on Python GIL. This way channels of such C-level dtypes can be used to implement interaction in between Python and nogil worlds.
