>     This PEP proposes an extension to the buffer interface called the
>     'fixed buffer interface'.

   I'd like to see the purpose of the interface defined here rather than
rely upon a reference to an email which talks about two buffer entities, the
API and the object. Reading the email produces a purpose that could be used
here:

[the Buffer API is] intended to allow efficient
binary I/O from and (in some cases) to large objects that have a
relatively well-understood underlying memory representation
