I've uploaded a new patch that should address the remaining issues:
o In the documentation _testbuffer has been replaced by
m.cast() + the now multi-dimensional m.tolist().
o I restored the state of the limited API. If we want
to include Py_buffer again, I think this should be done
in a separate patch.
o Flags of the memoryview object are private.
Additionally, because NumPy allows non-aligned array accesses,
I changed the packing functions to use memcpy for multi-byte types.
On x86/amd64 gcc is smart enough to produce almost exactly the same
asm output as before, with a slowdown of 0-1%, depending on the
benchmark.
On other platforms the situation might be worse, but I don't have
access to real hardware where alignment actually matters.
