Work on an nd-array protocol to extend the buffer protocol is occurring 
right now.  It think this will be better in the end then a standard 
nd-array type. 

I think a multi-dimensional object array would at least be a nice step.

There are enough differences between lists and 1-d arrays though, that 
I'm not sure the accepted multi-dimensional object array would just be 
the NumPy version.
