Apologies for the late reply. I've opened a new PR
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14257 with the changes requested
thanks!
I've written a small PR on your PR:
Essentially, other than typos and copy editing, I'm suggesting that a duck-array could choose to implement __array__ if it so chooses -- it should, of course, return an actual numpy array.
I think this could be useful, as much code does require an actual numpy array, and only that class itself knows how best to convert to one.
