What would be the use case for a duck-array to implement __array__ and return a NumPy array? Unless I'm missing something, this seems redundant and one should just use array/asarray functions then. This would also prevent error-handling, what if the developer intentionally wants a NumPy-like array (e.g., the original array passed to the duckarray function) or an exception (instead of coercing to a NumPy array)?

thanks!
I've written a small PR on your PR:
https://github.com/pentschev/numpy/pull/1
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.
