/*
   ManagedBuffer Object:
   ---------------------

     The purpose of this object is to facilitate the handling of chained
     memoryviews that have the same underlying exporting object. PEP-3118
     allows the underlying object to change while a view is exported. This
     could lead to unexpected results when constructing a new memoryview
     from an existing memoryview.

     Rather than repeatedly redirecting buffer requests to the original base
     object, all chained memoryviews use a single buffer snapshot. This
     snapshot is generated by the constructor _PyManagedBuffer_FromObject().

   Ownership rules:
   ----------------

     The master buffer inside a managed buffer is filled in by the original
     base object. shape, strides, suboffsets and format are read-only for
     all consumers.

     A memoryview's buffer is a private copy of the exporter's buffer. shape,
     strides and suboffsets belong to the memoryview and are thus writable.

     If a memoryview itself exports several buffers via memory_getbuf(), all
     buffer copies share shape, strides and suboffsets. In this case, the
     arrays are NOT writable.

   Reference count assumptions:
   ----------------------------

     The 'obj' member of a Py_buffer must either be NULL or refer to the
     exporting base object. In the Python codebase, all getbufferprocs
     return a new reference to view.obj (example: bytes_buffer_getbuffer()).

     PyBuffer_Release() decrements view.obj (if non-NULL), so the
     releasebufferprocs must NOT decrement view.obj.
