   Contiguous example
   ==================

     Input:
     ------
       shape      = {2, 2, 3};
       strides    = {6, 3, 1};
       suboffsets = NULL;
       data       = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11};
       buf        = &data[0]

     Output:
     -------
       shape      = {2, 2, 3};
       strides    = {sizeof(char *), 3, 1};
       suboffsets = {0, -1, -1};
       data       = {p1, p2, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11};
                     |   |   ^                 ^

                         `---------------------'
       buf        = &data[0]

     So, in the example the input resembles the three-dimensional array
     char v[2][2][3], while the output resembles an array of two pointers
     to two-dimensional arrays: char (*v[2])[2][3].

       data       = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11};

     Output:
     -------
       shape      = {2, 2, 3};
       strides    = {-sizeof(char *), 3, -1};
       suboffsets = {2, -1, -1};

  For each dimension, we get valid (start, stop, step, slicelength) quadruples
  from PySlice_GetIndicesEx().

  Slicing NumPy arrays
  ====================

    A pointer to an element in a NumPy array is defined by:

      ptr = (char *)buf + indices[0] * strides[0] +
                          ... +
                          indices[ndim-1] * strides[ndim-1]

    Adjust buf:
    -----------
      Adding start[n] for each dimension effectively adds the constant:

        c = start[0] * strides[0] + ... + start[ndim-1] * strides[ndim-1]

      Therefore init_slice() adds all start[n] directly to buf.

    Adjust shape:
    -------------
      Obviously shape[n] = slicelength[n]

    Adjust strides:
    ---------------
      In the original array, the next element in a dimension is reached
      by adding strides[n] to the pointer. In the sliced array, elements
      may be skipped, so the next element is reached by adding:

        strides[n] * step[n]

  Slicing PIL arrays
  ==================

    Layout:
    -------
      In the first (zeroth) dimension, PIL arrays have an array of pointers
      to sub-arrays of ndim-1. Striding in the first dimension is done by
      getting the index of the nth pointer, dereference it and then add a
      suboffset to it. The arrays pointed to can best be seen a regular
      NumPy arrays.

    Adjust buf:
    -----------
      In the original array, buf points to a location (usually the start)
      in the array of pointers. For the sliced array, start[0] can be
      added to buf in the same manner as for NumPy arrays.

    Adjust suboffsets:
    ------------------
      Due to the dereferencing step in the addressing scheme, it is not
      possible to adjust buf for higher dimensions. Recall that the
      sub-arrays pointed to are regular NumPy arrays, so for each of
      those arrays adding start[n] effectively adds the constant:

        c = start[1] * strides[1] + ... + start[ndim-1] * strides[ndim-1]

      This constant is added to suboffsets[0]. suboffsets[0] in turn is
      added to each pointer right after dereferencing.

    Adjust shape and strides:
    -------------------------
      Shape and strides are not influenced by the dereferencing step, so
      they are adjusted in the same manner as for NumPy arrays.

  Multiple levels of suboffsets
  =============================

      For a construct like an array of pointers to array of pointers to
      sub-arrays of ndim-2:

        suboffsets[0] = start[1] * strides[1]
        suboffsets[1] = start[2] * strides[2] + ...
