reminisce commented on issue #14268: Add numpy module under root module mxnet URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/14268#issuecomment-468393763 @wkcn Thanks for the example. I see your point. I misunderstood your suggestion before. Agree that it provides clearer UX having a unified operator interface for both `NDArray` and `Symbol` and doing call dispatch under the hood based upon the input argument types. However, we need to consider that there are other operators not belonging to numpy and still needing `F.` prefix in Gluon. I discussed this with @eric-haibin-lin , and we think this kind of mixed use like `np.dot` and `F.Pooling` in Gluon would introduce more confusion to users. One thing we can do is make all the op interfaces ndarray/symbol-agnostic in the future, so that the `F.` can be deleted from Gluon once for all.
