[Numpy-discussion] Time for beta1 of NumPy 1.0

[Tim Hochberg]

Regarding choice of float or int for default:

The number one priority for numpy should be to unify the three disparate 
Python numeric packages. Whatever choice of defaults facilitates that is 
what I support.

Personally, given no other constraints, I would probably just get rid of 
the defaults all together and make the user choose.
