One more question.  For these *_indices() functions, would you want an
interface that accepts *either*

diag_indices(size,ndim)

or

diag_indices(anarray)

Both can be useful depending on the case, but it  means leaving the
first argument as an untyped placeholder and  typechecking on it.  I
don't know if numpy has a policy on avoiding that kind of shenanigans.
