[Note: I have CCed this to the Matrix-SIG, which is a more
appropriate place for this topic.]

No, there is no such function in the current NumPy; it's one of
important holes in the system. Various proposals have been made
to get this functionality (and also that of take()) via extended
indexing expressions. I think some people wanted to investigate
an implementation, but I may be wrong. If anyone has news on this
topic, please let us know...
