/*NUMPY_API
 * Retrieves the array parameters for viewing/converting an arbitrary
 * PyObject* to a NumPy array. This allows the "innate type and shape"
 * of Python list-of-lists to be discovered without
 * actually converting to an array.
 *
 * In some cases, such as structured arrays and the __array__ interface,
 * a data type needs to be used to make sense of the object.  When
 * this is needed, provide a Descr for 'requested_dtype', otherwise
 * provide NULL. This reference is not stolen. Also, if the requested
 * dtype doesn't modify the interpretation of the input, out_dtype will
 * still get the "innate" dtype of the object, not the dtype passed
 * in 'requested_dtype'.
 *
 * If writing to the value in 'op' is desired, set the boolean
 * 'writeable' to 1.  This raises an error when 'op' is a scalar, list
 * of lists, or other non-writeable 'op'.
 *
 * Result: When success (0 return value) is returned, either out_arr
 *         is filled with a non-NULL PyArrayObject and
 *         the rest of the parameters are untouched, or out_arr is
 *         filled with NULL, and the rest of the parameters are
 *         filled.
 *

 *
 *      PyArrayObject *arr = NULL;
 *      PyArray_Descr *dtype = NULL;
 *      int ndim = 0;
 *      npy_intp dims[NPY_MAXDIMS];
