My vote is +1 for deprecating ``array([scalar])`` as a scalar index for NumPy 2.0.

I'd be -0 on this, since 1-element Numpy arrays function like scalars in several other contexts, e.g. in casting to Python types and in boolean context. Note also that at least Python's struct module (mis-?)uses __index__() for casting inputs to integers. -- Pauli Virtanen
