What *I* propose is that somebody [you see what I did there?] should sit down, take stock of all the multitudes of array libraries, what features they have, what obvious features they're missing, and think up a good API from scratch.

That is the idea behind vector. I don't know how good it is but it's the best I could come up with (or will be once it's finished). That said, I don't think there is such a thing as a perfect "array API". Different libraries serve different purposes.
