/*
 * This function allows the user to register a 1-d loop with an already
 * created ufunc. This function is similar to RegisterLoopForType except
 * that it allows a 1-d loop to be registered with PyArray_Descr objects
 * instead of dtype type num values. This allows a 1-d loop to be registered
 * for a structured array dtype or a custom dtype. The ufunc is called
 * whenever any of it's input arguments match the user_dtype argument.
 *
 * ufunc      - ufunc object created from call to PyUFunc_FromFuncAndData
 * user_dtype - dtype that ufunc will be registered with
 * function   - 1-d loop function pointer
 * arg_dtypes - array of dtype objects describing the ufunc operands
 * data       - arbitrary data pointer passed in to loop function
 *
 * returns 0 on success, -1 for failure
