Numeric and the new division operator

[Michael James Barber]

I run into a problem when using the new "true division" operator in 
conjunction with Numeric.  Do others see this too?

I can't imagine what I could be doing wrong with what is below, but I hope 
someone can enlighten me if it is a usage problem.  The problem is only in 
Numeric, btw - it works fine with floats and integers.

>>> from Numeric import arange

>>> x / 10.

>>> # now let's try true division

>>> from __future__ import division
>>> x/10
