Antoine, a couple of questions: (1) Is there documentation for the 'smalltable' field of the Py_buffer struct anywhere? What are the requirements for the exporter here? E.g., is it / should it be a requirement that shape, strides and suboffsets are all NULL whenever 'smalltable' is used? (2) Same question for the 'obj' field: what's the purpose of this field, from the POV of 3rd party buffer exporters?
