Comment:

 The next patch looks better.  However, I still have several issues.

 1) I see no need for two fastclip functions.  The in-place function is
 identical with calling the general one passing the in pointer to the out
 position.

 2) You should not add the fastclip.c file.  Place the code in
 multiarraymodule.c.

 3) Don't introduce a new C-API function.  Just replace PyArray_Clip

 4) Your MANGLE macros in fastclip.c are hard to follow.  Please simplify
 these.

 5) Thank you for your work.  This does look like a nice addition.
