And that's a good thing.  As type conversion functions, bool(x) and
int(x) should *always* return bools and ints respectively (or raise an
exception), no matter what you pass in for x.

If I do "list(efoo)", where efoo is an ElementwiseProxy object, should
I expect to get the efoo collection converted to a list, or another
ElementwiseProxy where each element has been converted to a list?  I
would hope the former.

The examples you gave are all numerical in nature.  If I might
inquire, what might I use this for that I can't already do with numpy?
