-Note that every disadvantage of the C interface remains. There's no distinction between input and output parameters. The complex numbers are still represented as correlated lists of floats. The list/array sizes must be specified explicitly, and an opportunity for memory corruption or a crash exists if one gets it wrong. One must keep track of which variables are floats and which are doubles. And it's many more lines of code than the Python version. (Some of this is exacerbated by ``hlsvd()``'s pass-by-reference interface.)

 I should also note that generating the code to even make this interface possible requires the creation of a non-trivial interface file, a SWIG-ing step to auto-generate two cooperative wrappers (one in C and one in Python), and compilation and linkage of that C wrapper. Once the code is constructed, the call chain looks like this:
