A while ago we had a brief discussion about this.

Is this a feature? or should there be a ticket for this

>>> np.sqrt('5')
NotImplemented

<type 'NotImplementedType'>

Maybe an enhancement ticket. The NotImplemented return is appropriate for some functions, but for functions with a single argument we should probably raise an error.
