A unit test would not be so helpful. The potential problem is that third party extensions with broken getbufferprocs would suffer. But at some point we have to streamline PEP-3118 code, or it will remain inscrutable forever. Extension writers often copy code from cpython, and I'm afraid if we don't remove redundancy, people will think such contiguity checks are necessary.
