Array features are complete except for multi-dimensional indexing and slicing.
I think it would be nice to add those in a separate issue; it's not a lot of
additional code and it doesn't interfere with the current code.

The overall array handling scheme is sound. Life would be a bit easier
if contiguity flags were a mandatory part of the Py_buffer structure
that the exporter has to fill in.

Then there is an open issue (#3132) for expanding the struct module syntax,
where the wording in some sections of the PEP led to a bit of head-scratching. :)

In another issue (#13072) the question came up whether the proposed 'u' and 'w'
formats still make sense after PEP-393 (I think they do, they should map to
UCS-2 and UCS-4).

We need to decide what to do about 2.7 and 3.2. It's pretty difficult by
now to separate the bug fixes from the features. I could follow the example
of CPU manufacturers: start with the whole feature set and disable as much
as possible.

Another problem for 2.7 and 3.2 is that the 'B' format would still need to
accept bytes instead of ints. Or can we change that as a bug fix?
