I find the "docs would look nice and consistent" argument pretty convincing. +1 for np.filled.
In Maple and Mathematica, these are called constant arrays. Thus (?) another possible name is: np.constant
This came up in the previous thread as well... the problem is that 'constant' has another even stronger meaning (in computing and science!) of 'fixed', 'unchanging', 'read-only' (cf. C's 'const', and the scipy.constants module). And numpy arrays do in fact have a flag that makes them read-only. But this would not be the function that sets it. -n
