I haven't been following as closely as I could, but is the following a
possibility?
4. Producers can supply either array_struct or array_interface.
Consumers may accept either. The intermediate is a small, standalone
(does not depend on NumPy) extension module that does automatic
translation if necessary by provides 2 functions: as_array_struct()
(which returns a CObject) and as_array_interface() (which returns a
tuple/dict/whatever).
