Hi all,
Over on the PIL mailing list, someone asked about some possible
additions to PIL to facilitate copy-free moving of data between PyGame
and PIL. I sent a note suggesting that the array interface might be just
the ticket. These were the responses:

So that's an advocacy issue, and an illustration of why getting it into
the standard lib is critical.

able to describe an image... so what have we missed. I'm out of my
technical depth, but I've encouraged Fredrik to bring the discussion here.
