Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment:

While it's theoretically possible, there's a reason why we haven't done this in 
the past: we don't want to keep the possibly large original object alive when 
using a slice.

For buffer interface types, you can already use memoryview to get a view in 
case you need this.

In most other cases, it's better to work with indexes into the original object 
rather than views on the data.
