[New-bugs-announce] [issue1200] Allow array.array to be parsed by the t# format unit.

New submission from Jeffrey Yasskin:

This changes PyArg_ParseTuple()'s "t#" to request a PyBUF_SIMPLE buffer
like all of the other buffer-using format units instead of
PyBUF_CHARACTER. Objects with multi-byte units wind up
byte-order-dependent. Alternately, it might make sense to have
array.array('b') and array.array('B') accept the PyBUF_CHARACTER flag.

I haven't actually tested this patch on a big-endian machine.
