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?
