Get rid of buffer().  Use memoryview() in its place where possible.
In a few places, do things a bit different, because memoryview()
can't slice (yet).

  Here's a patch which addresses this.  It also fixes the indentation in
  PySSL_SetError, bringing it into line with PEP 7, fixes a compile warning
  about one of the OpenSSL macros, and makes the namespace a bit more
  consistent.  I've tested it on FC 7 and OS X 10.4.

  Improve extended slicing support in builtin types and classes. Specifically:

   - Specialcase extended slices that amount to a shallow copy the same way as
     is done for simple slices, in the tuple, string and unicode case.

   - Specialcase step-1 extended slices to optimize the common case for all
     involved types.

   - For lists, allow extended slice assignment of differing lengths as long
     as the step is 1. (Previously, 'l[:2:1] = []' failed even though
     'l[:2] = []' and 'l[:2:None] = []' do not.)

   - Implement extended slicing for buffer, array, structseq, mmap and
     UserString.UserString.

   - Implement slice-object support (but not non-step-1 slice assignment) for
     UserString.MutableString.

   - Add tests for all new functionality.

*ordering* between objects; there is only a default equality test
(defined by an object being equal to itself only).  Read the comment
in object.c.  The current implementation never uses a three-way
comparison to compute a rich comparison, but it does use a rich
comparison to compute a three-way comparison.  I'm not quite done
ripping out all the calls to PyObject_Compare/Cmp, or replacing
tp_compare implementations with tp_richcompare implementations;
but much of that has happened (to make most unit tests pass).

The following tests still fail, because I need help deciding
or understanding:

test_codeop -- depends on comparing code objects
test_datetime -- need Tim Peters' opinion
test_marshal -- depends on comparing code objects
test_mutants -- need help understanding it

The problem with test_codeop and test_marshal is this: these tests
compare two different code objects and expect them to be equal.
Is that still a feature we'd like to support?  I've temporarily
removed the comparison and hash code from code objects, so they
use the default (equality by pointer only) comparison.

For the other two tests, run them to see for yourself.
(There may be more failing test with "-u all".)

A general problem with getting lots of these tests to pass is
the reality that for object types that have a natural total ordering,
implementing __cmp__ is much more convenient than implementing
__eq__, __ne__, __lt__, and so on.  Should we go back to allowing
__cmp__ to provide a total ordering?  Should we provide some other
way to implement rich comparison with a single method override?
Alex proposed a __key__() method; I've considered a __richcmp__()
method.  Or perhaps __cmp__() just shouldn't be killed off...
