+ *   #define PyArrayDescr_Type (*(PyTypeObject *)PyArray_API[3])
+ *
+ * and then in some places we need to take its address, &PyArrayDescr_Type.
+ * This is fine in GCC 10 and Clang, but earlier versions of GCC complain:
+ *
+ *   error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type 'PyTypeObject'
+ *   {aka 'struct _typeobject'}
+ *
+ * As a workaround, provide a faux forward declaration for PyTypeObject.
