What is this -1 for: a) buffer protocol in Py3k? b) multisegment buffer protocol? c) readinto that supports multisegment buffers?

b and c; I don't have an opinion a.

I did not suggest to expose anything in Python. AFAIK, the buffer protocol is a C API only.

Ah; now that the IO library will be likely 100% pure Python, this needs thought.
