I"d be really careful about this -- sure it's annoying, but a kind of
global change of behavior could wreak havok.

I'd create a set of Fortran-order constructors -- if it were me, I do:

fzeros
fones,

etc.....

but you could, I suppose, create a namespace and ut hem all there, then
create a fnumpy that would write those over:

import numpy as np

and away you go -- but that wouldn't change any code that imports numpy in
the usual way.
