Buffers are not sequence objects (!). Put them in the abstract objects layers
instead.

+The buffer structure
+====================
-Buffer objects are useful as a way to expose the binary data from another
-object to the Python programmer. They can also be used as a zero-copy
-slicing mechanism. Using their ability to reference a block of memory, it is
-possible to expose any data to the Python programmer quite easily. The memory
-could be a large, constant array in a C extension, it could be a raw block of
-memory for manipulation before passing to an operating system library, or it
-could be used to pass around structured data in its native, in-memory format.

+Contrary to most data types exposed by the Python interpreter, buffers
are not :ctype:`PyObject` pointers but rather simple C structures. This
allows them to be created and copied very simply. When a generic wrapper

can be created.
