If it is ``0``, :c:member:`~Py_buffer.buf` points to a single item representing
a scalar. In this case, :c:member:`~Py_buffer.shape`, :c:member:`~Py_buffer.strides`
and :c:member:`~Py_buffer.suboffsets` MUST be ``NULL``.
+ The maximum number of dimensions is given by :c:macro:`PyBUF_MAX_NDIM`.
- The macro :c:macro:`PyBUF_MAX_NDIM` limits the maximum number of dimensions
- to 64. Exporters MUST respect this limit, consumers of multi-dimensional
- buffers SHOULD be able to handle up to :c:macro:`PyBUF_MAX_NDIM` dimensions.
