[Numpy-discussion] Why does fancy indexing work like this?

[Aaron Meurer]

These cases don't give any deprecation warnings in NumPy master:

>>> np.arange(0)[np.array([0]), False]
array([], dtype=int64)
>>> np.arange(0).reshape((0, 0))[np.array([0]), np.array([], dtype=int)]
array([], dtype=int64)

Is that intentional?
