Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven b70ccc348b After discussing some more with Georg, do no migrate versionchanged:: 2.5 to
this branch. While I am here, also get rid of other versionchanged:: 2.x
constructs, as discussed.

Buffer Protocol
===============
.. cfunction:: int PyObject_AsCharBuffer(PyObject *obj, const char **buffer, Py_ssize_t *buffer_len)
Returns a pointer to a read-only memory location usable as character-based
input. The *obj* argument must support the single-segment character buffer
interface. On success, returns ``0``, sets *buffer* to the memory location
and *buffer_len* to the buffer length. Returns ``-1`` and sets a
:exc:`TypeError` on error.
.. cfunction:: int PyObject_AsReadBuffer(PyObject *obj, const void **buffer, Py_ssize_t *buffer_len)
Returns a pointer to a read-only memory location containing arbitrary data.
The *obj* argument must support the single-segment readable buffer
interface. On success, returns ``0``, sets *buffer* to the memory location
and *buffer_len* to the buffer length. Returns ``-1`` and sets a
:exc:`TypeError` on error.
.. cfunction:: int PyObject_CheckReadBuffer(PyObject *o)
Returns ``1`` if *o* supports the single-segment readable buffer interface.
Otherwise returns ``0``.
.. cfunction:: int PyObject_AsWriteBuffer(PyObject *obj, void **buffer, Py_ssize_t *buffer_len)
Returns a pointer to a writable memory location. The *obj* argument must
support the single-segment, character buffer interface. On success,
returns ``0``, sets *buffer* to the memory location and *buffer_len* to the
buffer length. Returns ``-1`` and sets a :exc:`TypeError` on error.
