Separately, regarding the permissible axis labels, I think we must not allow any enumerated axis labels (ie, ints and floats). I don't remember if there was a consensus about that yesterday. We don't have the flexibility in the ndarray API to allow for the expression darr.method(axis=2) to mean not the 2nd dimension, but the Axis with label==2
So the axis label rule could be either: 1. str only 2. Any hashable object except int or float #1 is looking better and better. Plus you already coded it :)
