I just checked about ~150KLOC of our Python code in a financial context,
written by about twenty developers over about four years. Almost every
function uses numpy, sometimes directly and sometimes via pandas.
It seems like these functions were never used anyw

Very briefly, I am absolutely in favor of this.
Keeping the functions in numpy seems more of a liability than help
