Review Comment:
   Could you have a look at `PyArray_CheckFromAny` with flag 
`NPY_ARRAY_C_CONTIGUOUS`? If I understand correctly it reshapes if necessary or 
gives access to the data/view directly. Then we can use `PyArray_DATA` as in 
other places in the codebase.
   
   I am not sure which would fit better but am interested in what you think.
