Hi Nathaniel, Thanks for the link. The plans sounds great! You'll not be surprised to hear I'm particularly interested in the units aspect (and, no, I don't mind at all if we can stop subclassing ndarray...). Is the idea that there will be a general way for allow a dtype to define how to convert an array to one with another dtype? (Just as one now implicitly is able to convert between, say, int and float.) And, if so, is the idea that one of those conversion possibilities might involve checking units? Or were you thinking of implementing units more directly? The former would seem most sensible, if only so you can initially focus on other things than deciding how to support, say, esu vs emu units, or whether or not to treat radians as equal to dimensionless (which they formally are, but it is not always handy to do so).
Anyway, do keep us posted!
