Hi, I have made a modest proposal in issue #6752 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/6752>. Basically, the proposal is to add an `ndim` attribute to dtypes. Currently, arrays have a shape and an ndim attribute, where ndim equals len(shape). dtype objects have a shape attribute, but no corresponding ndim.
An ndim attribute would help in immediately determining whether a field in a structured dtype is multidimensional or not. Thoughts?
