[Numpy-discussion] New NEP: merging multiarray and umath

[Marten van Kerkwijk]

Hi Nathanial,

I looked through the revised text at https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/10704
and think it covers things well; any improvements on the organisation
I can think of would seem to start with doing the merge anyway (e.g.,
I quite like Eric Wieser's suggested base ndarray class; the
additional bits that implement operators might quite easily become
useful for duck arrays).

One request: can it be part of the NEP to aim to document the
organisation of the whole more clearly? For me at least, one of the
big hurdles to trying to contribute to the C code has been the absence
of a mental picture of how it all hangs together.

All the best,

Marten
