I'd like to hear more about why the empty tuple has been selected as the default index.
It's still not settled. Steven proposed None, I propose empty tuple for affinity with *args behavior, others proposed no positional arg at all, but then there's the problem of the setter. I sent a mail to the numpy mailing list yesterday, and all people who replied seemed to prefer empty tuple.
