The best solution, in my opinion, is to provide scalar objects corresponding to low-precision ints and floats, as part of NumPy.

One of the thoughts I had in mind for the "kinds" proposal was to support this. I was going to do the float32 object as part of it as a demo of how it would work. So I got out the float object from Python, figuring I would just change a few types et voila. Not. It is very hard to understand, and I don't even understand the reasons it is hard to understand. Perhaps a young person with a high tolerance for pain would look at this?
