I did mention compatibility as a point of concern recently - but not
quite as strongly as you do now, because I was expecting that even a
rewritten NumPy would keep its C API as close as possible to the
current one.

I have plenty of modules that uses NumPy at the C level, but none
of it makes any assumptions about the way NumPy executes its operations.
All I require is a linear data array and the dimension lists and data
type indicators.
