But, Stephan pointed out that it might be confusing to users for objects to only exist at typing time, so we came around to the question of whether people are open to the idea of including the type aliases in NumPy itself. Ralf's concrete proposal was to make a module numpy.types (or maybe numpy.typing) to hold the aliases so that they don't pollute the top-level namespace. The module would initially contain the types
That sounds very sensible. Having types available with NumPy should also encourage their use, especially if we can add some documentation around it.
I agree, I might have a small tendency for `numpy.types` if we ever find any usage other than direct typing that may be the better name? Out of curiousity, I guess `ArrayLike` would be an ABC that a downstream project can register with? - Sebastian
