This follows existing pattern for object constructor API and allows to
create memoryview objects e.g. in external modules.

Might be useful at least for memoryview hacks.

This helps make files reusable across other ports.

Should only give an error on the last pass of the assembler, since
that's when we are certain about the branch size.
