I found another related bug. In bytes_setslice, when the buffer is
resized to a smaller size, a memmove happens regardless of whether the
resize is successful or not.
>>> b = bytearray(range(10))
>>> m = memoryview(b)
>>> b[1:8] = b'X'
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
BufferError: Existing exports of data: object cannot be re-sized
>>> b
bytearray(b'\x00\x01\x08\t\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t')
The same problem also applies to bytes_remove:
>>> b
bytearray(b'\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t')
>>> b.remove(2)
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
BufferError: Existing exports of data: object cannot be re-sized
>>> b
bytearray(b'\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\x00')
There may be other places this can happen but I haven't checked yet.
