Was there discussion around which of `asarray` or asanyarray` to prefer? PR 11162, https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/11162, proposes `asanyarray` in place of `asarray` at the entrance to `_quantile_ureduce_func` to preserve ndarray subclasses. Should we be looking into changing all the `asarray` calls into `asanyarray`?
