[Numpy-discussion] ObjectArray paramter order poll

A while back Colin Williams suggested that we change the parameter order of numarray.objects.ObjectArray from:

def __init__(self, shape=None, objects=None, rank=None)

to:

def __init__(self, objects=None, shape=None, rank=None)

The new order emphasizes building object arrays from existing sequences, while the old order emphasizes building empty (full of None) object arrays of a specific shape. Since array() and fromlist() already exist to build from sequences, I thought it was fine to keep the order as is, plus I hate breaking s/w interfaces unless it was my idea. :-)

Opinions please?
