Do you mean any index access here or is the first item special in any way?

import? not cimport?

"buffer" is actually a builtin in Py2 and was replaced by "memoryview" in Py3
(so I would consider it free for future use, especially since it's namespaced
here).

I assume that you meant it to provide direct access to the plain buffer
"void*", right?
