Things are getting a bit confusing, because it seems that there are two different things being discussed here:
(1) A C-level array interface that's a generalisation of the buffer interface.
(2) A new multi-dimensional array object type which happens to implement (1).
As I understand the proposals, the important thing for interoperability between different types is to have (1). Whereas (2) would be useful to have, it's not a prerequisite for (1).
Do I understand correctly?
