Remove sctypeNA and typeNA from numpy core
numpy.core has many ways to catalogue dtype names: sctypeDict, typeDict (which is precisely sctypeDict), typecodes, and typename. We also generate sctypeNA and typeNA but, as issue 11241 shows, it is sometimes wrong. They are also not documented and never used inside numpy. Instead of fixing it, I propose to remove sctypeNA and typeNA. Any thoughts or objections? Matti

Sounds like a good idea, we have too much stuff in there, and this one is not even useful (I bet the NA is for the missing value support that never happened). Might be good to do a quick deprecation anyway though, mostly out of principle. - Sebastian
