Currently [1], the implementation and the documentation for PEP 3118's

I think there are actually two such fields: smalltable and obj.
The need for obj is a little ugly: as far as I can tell, it's
meaningless for a 3rd-party object that wants to export buffers---it's
only really used by the memoryview object and by internal Python
types.
Not at all. It's the reason why some of the buffer API functions could be
changed to a simpler signature after earlier versions of the PEP had been
written.
