Hello, I'm writing a GSoC proposal, mostly concerning SciPy, but it involves a few changes to NumPy. The proposal is titled: Improvements to the sparse package of Scipy: support for bool dtype and better interaction with NumPy and can be found on my GitHub: https://github.com/cowlicks/GSoC-proposal/blob/master/proposal.markdown#nump... Basically, I want to change the ufunc class to be aware of SciPy's sparse matrices. So that when a ufunc is passed a sparse matrix as an argument, it will dispatch to a function in the sparse matrix package, which will then decide what to do. I just wanted to ping NumPy to make sure this is reasonable, and I'm not totally off track. Suggestions, feedback and criticism welcome. Thanks!
