+lots on that. This is not only true for larger components but projects like wxpython, pyqt and pyobjc could also use these hooks to add links to the C version of those libraries (I don't know about pyqt but wxpython and pyobjc both have choosen to document the differences with the C library instead of trying to duplicate their work).
