As literally spelled out, it starts with "a memoryview and a PEP 3118 
exporter". But I was actually thinking of the implementation...

In any case, I'm skeptical that this is a useful extension to the buffer 
interface. You would imply "two exporters are equal iff their exported 
buffers are equal". I think this is asking too much.
