OK, I misunderstood your suggestion. So you actually want to just
remove the assert altogether, thus allowing delegation of the buffer
API by defining *only* the getbuffer slot and setting obj to point to
a different object?

I don't see any obvious problems with that, either. It would need new
test cases and some documentation updates, though.

Cheers,
Nick.
