Can you comment on how this would fit in to what they're trying to do? Do they need the ability to skip __array_ufunc__ too? Up thread, I argued that if we end up with both __asduckarray__ and __skipping_array_function__, then that means we can't call __array_function__ on the result from __asduckarray__, because that would break the layering that we're trying to use to keep this pile of features factored out enough to understand. But we definitely want to call __array_ufunc__ on the result from __asduckarray__. So if __skipping_array_function__ also applies to __array_ufunc__, then that creates the same problem. One possibility is to leave __array_ufunc__ out of this for now, and if it later becomes an issue then we can debate the semantics of __skipping_array_ufunc__ as a seperate issue. -n >
