Research direction

Start by reviewing the two linked memoryview-array-value.patch files and the multiprocessing.sharedctypes entry point. The issue does not name repository files or tests, so determine the intended subset and expected behavior from the patches and BPO issue 14953. Done means the requested sharedctypes subset is reimplemented using memoryview with appropriate coverage.
