If you mean the array interface (
https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/arrays.interface.html), this is what
dtype.str provides (
https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.dtype.str.html).
But the limitation here is that structured types are represented by the 'V'
char, which is not properly representing it by any means.
