Will it be possible, when creating a new records array, to specify types of a record array as a list of normal numarray types? Currently one has to specify the types as a "formats" string, which is nonstandard.
In theory it is easy to do that except you can't specify cell arrays, i.e. how do you specify the equivalent of: formats=['3Int16', '(4,5)Float32'] with the numarray type instances? JC Hsu

Well, how about one (or both) of these: formats = 3*(Int16,), 4*(5*(Float32,),) formats = (3,Int16), ((4,5), Float32)
