[scikit-learn] request for feedback on cross-library design proposal

[Ralf Gommers]

(Apologies for the cross-posting, if you follow more than one of these
lists, you may see this multiple times.)

Hi all,

I'd like to solicit the feedback of maintainers of NumPy, SciPy,
scikit-learn, and scikit-image, and other interested community members on
this blog post and proposed design to enable multiple array types in SciPy,
scikit-learn, scikit-image and other libraries in this ecosystem:
https://labs.quansight.org/blog/2021/11/pydata-extensibility-vision/.
Because this design is meant to be shared across projects, it would be
great to discuss it in a central place. The new
https://discuss.scientific-python.org/ seems like a good venue for that.
Here are two separate forum threads for this:

- for the big picture:
https://discuss.scientific-python.org/t/a-proposed-design-for-supporting-multiple-array-types-across-scipy-scikit-learn-scikit-image-and-beyond/131
- for the most tricky design decision (user-facing switch & default
behavior):
https://discuss.scientific-python.org/t/default-dispatching-behavior-for-supporting-multiple-array-types-across-scipy-scikit-learn-scikit-image/135

Thanks in advance for any input!

Cheers,
Ralf
