I agree with Konrad here.  What would be needed for a non-continguous
array would just be a little more book keeping.  Read and write
methods would be great!  This feature would make it easier to pass
data around to my labs non-Python crew.  It would also might make it
easier to transform a Numeric array into a PIL image (a common task
in my group) by giving the Image a "file" to work with -- of course
it'll be faster...  Thumbs up here.
