Should
np.testing.assert_equal(np.array(1), 1)
raise an AssertionError? (It currently doesn't.)
The use case I have in mind is that scipy.stats.nanamedian incorrectly
returns np.array(1.0) for the median of a 1d array while np.median
correctly returns 1.0. It would be handy if the assert statement
caught the difference.

Such a change would break most of the current tests. The current form was
chosen to be convenient for most use cases. If you need to check the return
type, then you can write another helper function or use assert_ to combine
several tests.
