Returning NotImplementedButCoercible from __array_ufunc__ or __array_function__, and 2. Not implementing __array_ufunc__ or __array_function__ at all. Changing __array_ufunc__ to do multiple rounds of checks could indeed be useful in some cases, and you're right that it would not change existing behavior (in these cases we currently raise TypeError). But I'd rather leave that for a separate discussion, because it's orthogonal to our proposal here for __array_function__. (Personally, I don't think it would be worth the additional complexity.)
