 Users should be able to define a `#[pyclass]` with or without `#[pymethods]`, while PyO3 needs a
 trait with a function that returns all methods. Since it's impossible to make the code generation in
 pyclass dependent on whether there is an impl block, we'd need to implement the trait on

 ## Macros
 
-While rust-cpython has a macro based dsl for declaring modules and classes, PyO3 uses proc macros and specialization. PyO3 also doesn't change your struct and functions so you can still use them as normal Rust functions.
