Bug: segfault when calling `simsimd.cdist` without `metric=` keyword argument in Python

[fancidev]

Describe the bug

When calling simsimd.cdist passing the metric as a positional argument (instead of a keyword argument), a segfault is raised.

Steps to reproduce

import simsimd
import numpy as np

u = np.array([[-0.30039746, -0.13594460, 0.58292344]])
v = np.array([[-0.65563949, -0.29700866, 1.27146813]])

# simsimd.cdist(u, v, metric="sqeuclidean")  # ok
simsimd.cdist(u, v, "sqeuclidean")  # seg fault

Expected behavior

No segfault.

It seems to be a problem with how the Python binding is written rather than with the underlying algorithm.

That's true, there is a SEGFAULT. I've noticed the issue yesterday, when sharing the benchmarks, will look into it. Thanks, @fancidev!
