Hi all, Thanks for the PR, Ben.
Note that this is in the numpy-tutorials repo, which is a new repo created to specifically host Jupyter notebook tutorials for NumPy users. It is still not in its final form. One of the questions around this PR is where this style guide should live: in the main documentation or in the numpy-tutorials repo? If you have thoughts on this, please share.
