I'm happy to revisit the __numpy_ufunc__ discussion (I still want to see it happen!), but I don't recall scalars being a point of contention.

The __numpy_ufunc__ functionality is the last bit I want for 1.12.0, the rest of the remaining changes I can kick forward to 1.13.0. I will start taking a look tomorrow, probably starting with Nathaniel's work.

The obvious thing to do with scalars would be to treat them the same as 0-dimensional arrays, though I might be missing some nuance...

That's my thought. Currently they just look at __array_priority__ and call the corresponding array method if needed, so that maybe needs some improvement and a formal statement of intent.
