I wouldn't necessarily want all of the granularity exposed in something
like "asarraylike"--that should be kept really simple. But I think there's
value in numpy providing multiple ABCs for portions of the interface (and
one big one that combines them all). That way, people who want the
finer-grained checking (say for a more limited array-like) can use a
common, shared, existing ABC, rather than having everyone re-invent it.
