Hi Casey,

See _arraysurfarray.c for an example of using the array interface. Unlike a
simple buffer it gives information on shape and item type. So object testing is
much more thorough and safe. Both Numeric and Numpy support the array interface.
And the Python 3 buffer interface is also supposed to provide similar information.
