Hmm. And I went out of my way to include this stupid multi-buffer stuff 
because the NumPy folks said they couldn't live without it (and one of the 
reasons for the buffer stuff was to allow NumPy arrays, which may be 
discontiguous, to be written efficiently).

Can someone confirm that the Numeric stuff indeed doesn't use this?
