I came across another one the other day when working on
pygui. I wanted to use glReadPixels to read data into a
buffer belonging to an NSBitmapImageRep, but PyOpenGL's
glReadPixels can only read data into an existing memory
block if it's a Numeric array, and PyObjC doesn't know
anything about Numeric...
