Just a suggestion: post your message on the numeric discussion list (where
numarray is also discussed).  Most of the num* developers only check c.l.py on
occasion, so it's very easy that your message will be simply missed by the
appropriate people, which would be a shame.  They are generally very
responsive to user requests and constructive criticism.
