IMNSHO, moving the current NumPy array into the core would be a Bad Thing.
Moving a new similar object with cleaned up semantics and better
implementation in would be a Good Thing.  But it won't happen until 1.7 at
the earliest, as the semantics haven't even been agreed on, let alone the
code written.
