Best practices for distributing and testing an interface file

Over at NumPy, we have a numpy.i SWIG interface file, but are not
distributing it with our python wheels or source tarball. Two
reasons: we do not really know where to put it, and we do not have
good tests for it.

How are people testing their interface files? Are there
coverage-like tools to determine which parts of the file have been
tested? Are there some liberally licensed examples we could add to
our CI? We occasionally get requests to modify the file, and are
hesitant to do so until we know we will not break anything.

Are there any domain experts who would like to be the NumPy SWIG
expert?

For instance, this PR seems harmless, but who knows without tests

Thanks,

Matti
