FWIW, I do find this paragraph somewhat confusing, because the main description of what a typed memoryview is assumes that I already know the current buffer support. I think that's actually true (the ndarray[int32] syntax, right?), but I'm not sure, and people coming to this for the first time probably won't even know that buffers are what they're looking for. I'd say something like: "Typed memoryviews can be used for efficient access to buffers. For example, you can use them to read and modify numpy arrays or <some other awesome things> without incurring any python overhead." And put a compare/contrast with the old syntax later, like the second paragraph or so. My 2ยข, - Nathaniel
