+1 from me, which you already knew :)

For folks that haven't read Eric Snow's PEP 554 about exposing
multiple interpreter support as a Python level API, Antoine's proposed
zero-copy-data-management enhancements for pickle complement that
nicely, since they allow the three initial communication primitives in
PEP 554 (passing None, bytes, memory views) to be more efficiently
expanded to handling arbitrary objects by sending first the pickle
data, then the out-of-band memory views, and finally None as an
end-of-message marker.

Cheers,
Nick.
