    "This PEP proposes a redesign and re-implementation of the multi-
    dimensional array module, Numeric, to make it easier to add new
    features and functionality to the module"

    (the PEP doesn't mention it, but iirc, part of the reason for a
    rewrite is that the current codebase is one big mess.  before
    that's sorted out, it won't be added to the core)
