Description
These are often used by other stubs, e.g. as np._SupportsBuffer, even though it doesn't exist at runtime.
They should probably live in numtype (not necessarily as part of the public API, though).

Research direction
Inspect init.pyi to identify the common protocols and type aliases referenced by other stubs, then review the numtype package layout for a suitable home. Relocate those definitions while preserving the references such as np._SupportsBuffer and keeping them outside the runtime public API unless required.
