Comment(by pearu):

 Unfortunately, I just learned that in C it is impossible to determine how
 many arguments are used for calling a C function using stdarg.h macros.
 So, my original idea of creating a C function
 {{{
   int size(PyArrayObject* arr, ...)
   {...}
 }}}
 does not work.

 However, there is another solution: f2py can map size calls with two
 arguments to the corresponding shape calls. I'll try how it will work
 out..
