[Numpy-discussion] Revised NEP-18, __array_function__ protocol

Sorry, I had clearly misunderstood. It would indeed be nice for overrides
to work on functions like `zeros` or `arange` as well, but it seems strange
to change the signature just for that. As a possible alternative, should we
perhaps generally check for overrides on `dtype`?

All the best,

Marten
