Comment(by oliphant):

 I am not sure what is meant by a "clean API mechanism".   I'm pretty sure
 that all that needs to be done is to push the reference to the original
 object exposing the memory instead of leaving it to the "most recent"
 array exposing the view.

 This could have been changed and it is not that difficult of a change.

 I dont' know what you mean by a "separation" of an array and a "buffer".
 An array is an example of a buffer.   There are many examples of "buffers"
 and an array is a kind of "buffer"
