Hello All, 

I need to make use of the limited numpy API access Pybind11 gives, in order to add a feature to it.  It seems to give access to functions from numpy_api.py [1].  I need to use PyArray_GETITEM and PyArray_SETITEM in order to get and set array elements [2], these functions / macros  are not exposed via numpy_api.py, but are in `numpy/ndarraytypes.h`.

We were wondering why aren't PyArray_GETITEM and PyArray_SETITEM exposed like the rest of numpy API?  Is it possible to replicate the behavior using the members exposed in numpy_api.py ?  Any help would be appreciated.
