Things are getting a bit confusing, because it seems that there are two different things being discussed here: (1) A C-level array interface that's a generalisation of the buffer interface. (2) A new multi-dimensional array object type which happens to implement (1). As I understand the proposals, the important thing for interoperability between different types is to have (1). Whereas (2) would be useful to have, it's not a prerequisite for (1). Do I understand correctly? Greg
