Description
This is very far left field, but it'd be interesting if there were a way for pybind11 and numba to interoperate.
One scenario might be if a pybind signature overload could be detected during @numba.jit, and if numba could detect pybind types, get the underlying C[++] data, and strip out marshaling normally done by pybind, and reduce the overhead when calling C++ code from Python in loops (related: #1227).

Research direction
Start by reviewing related issue #1227 and the proposed interaction between pybind11, Numba, and JAX. No implementation files or tests are identified; the work would first need a feasibility investigation and a defined interoperability design before completion can be measured.
