Guido has agreed to eventually pronounce on PEP 393. Before that can
happen, I'd like to collect feedback on it. There have been a number
of voice supporting the PEP in principle

Absolutely.


- conditions you would like to pose on the implementation before
   acceptance. I'll see which of these can be resolved, and list
   the ones that remain open.

Just repeating here that I'd like to see the buffer void* changed into a union of pointers that state the exact layout type. IMHO, that would clarify the implementation and make it clearer that it's correct to access the data buffer as a flat array. (Obviously, code that does that is subject to future changes, that's why there are macros.)
