Indeed -- I thought the community more or less had decided that duck-typing
was THE way to make something that could be plugged in where a numpy array
is expected.

Along those lines, there was some discussion of having a set of utilities
(or maybe eve3n an ABC?) that would make it easier to create a ndarray-like
object.

That is, the boilerplate needed for multi-dimensional indexing and slicing,
etc...

That could be a nice little sprint-able project.
