Various notes while reading the Memoryview documentation:

 - “memoryviews allow Python code to access the internal data of an object that supports the buffer protocol without copying. Memory can be interpreted as simple bytes or complex data structures.” This is quite obscure because there's no definition of the "buffer protocol".

 - a link from 6.10 to the c-api/buffer.html page may be useful

 - the memoryview.suboffsets attribute is not documented on the "6.10 memoryview Type" page

 - there's no glossary entry for the "buffer protocol" (does it deserve an entry?)

 - "Memoryview" is title-cased in one case (c-api/buffer.html) but lowercased for the title of section 6.10 (stdtypes.html#memoryview-types)
