Pass "never None" property of decoded byte strings through to the code that uses them.

Use the same function return type inference for builtin types in GeneralCallNode as in SimpleCallNode.

Fix enum-to-unicode conversion code in C++ mode where direct assignments from C int to enum are not allowed.

Also reduces the C code overhead by removing the explicit 1-arg tuple packing code.

Disallow old-style classes for multiple inheritance

Use a specialised GenericGetAttr implementation for the "tp_getattro" slot whenever a type uses the generic lookup but has no instance dict.

Remove the complete copy of "PyObject_GenericGetAttr()" again as it's too much code for too little effect. Calling the original C-API function as a fallback should be enough.

Optimise attribute access on extension types with "__getattr__" but without instance dict through a streamlined copy of "PyObject_GenericGetAttr".

Optimise attribute access on Cython provided extension types without instance dict through a streamlined copy of "PyObject_GenericGetAttr".

Add warnings to compiler directive docs

Use specialised default return handling code for "return None" in generators and other functions that return Python objects.

Fix link to Pythran manual in the documentation.

C functions without args should be declared as f(void)

Allow multiple inheritance without __dict__

Closes #2075.

Evaluate multiplication of string literals at compile time if the result is short (<= 256 characters).
