        MemoryViewSliceType(base, axes)

        Base is the C base type; axes is a list of (access, packing) strings,
        where access is one of 'full', 'direct' or 'ptr' and packing is one of
        'contig', 'strided' or 'follow'.  There is one (access, packing) tuple
        for each dimension.

        the access specifiers determine whether the array data contains
        pointers that need to be dereferenced along that axis when
        retrieving/setting:

        'direct' -- No pointers stored in this dimension.
        'ptr' -- Pointer stored in this dimension.
        'full' -- Check along this dimension, don't assume either.

        the packing specifiers specify how the array elements are layed-out
        in memory.

        'contig' -- The data is contiguous in memory along this dimension.
                At most one dimension may be specified as 'contig'.
        'strided' -- The data isn't contiguous along this dimension.
        'follow' -- Used for C/Fortran contiguous arrays, a 'follow' dimension
            has its stride automatically computed from extents of the other
            dimensions to ensure C or Fortran memory layout.

        C-contiguous memory has 'direct' as the access spec, 'contig' as the
        *last* axis' packing spec and 'follow' for all other packing specs.

        Fortran-contiguous memory has 'direct' as the access spec, 'contig' as
        the *first* axis' packing spec and 'follow' for all other packing
        specs.
