CC Antoine for his expertise of the buffer protocol

Opaque Py_Buffer and PyObject structs will require a different approach and 
prevent some optimizations. The consumer will have to malloc() a Py_buffer 
struct on the heap. In non-trivial cases the producer (exporter) may have to 
malloc() another blob and store it in Py_buffer.internal [1]. I'm not 
particularly worried about the performance of malloc here.
