One little point here:

I think that's and example of something that *should* be part of the numpy
API, but should be implemented as a mixin, based on np.multiply.accumulate.

As I'm a still confused about the goal here, that means that:

Users should still use `.cumprod`, but implementers of numpy-like packages
should implement `.multiply.accumulate`, and not directly `cumprod`, but
rather use the numpy ABC, or however it is implemented.
