The reason I don't particularly like the "delegation only" API is that the 
combination of the new memoryview implementation and bytes/mmap/etc to get a 
flat region of memory to play with means you could do some quite interesting 
things entirely at the Python level.

If you couldn't even use memoryview.cast() to change the shape of the exported 
memory, it makes the Python level API clearly inferior in power compared to 
what you can do in C.
