Hi Ralf, Agreed that the coercion right now is *not* generic, with some doing `asarray`, others `asanyarray` and yet others nothing. There are multiple possible solutions, with one indeed being that for each function one moves the coercion bits out to an associated intermediate function. In principle, as I mentioned above, one could then think of letting that intermediate function take on a coercion function (i.e., `asarray`, `asanyarray` or even any one's favourite coercion function), which might make it possible to generate them semi-automatically.
Anyway, as said, mostly I want to be sure we leave ourselves the freedom to experiment with that as well, and not get bound by `__wrapped__` or `__numpy_implementation__` becoming effectively a second layer of API. But for actual experiments, it may well be better to try `__array_ufunc__` first, as for ufuncs coercion is uniform. All the best, Marten p.s. Good point also about checking of non-array inputs.
