Hmm. My impression was that .base was for refcounting purposes *only*. Thus, it is not even guaranteed that the attribute value is an array(-like) object. For example, I might want to allow direct access to some internal buffers of an object of mine in an extension module; then, I'd use .base to bind the lifetime of my object to the array (the lifetime of which I cannot control anymore).
