In particular, ignore any references to SciPy Core... Not to mention
anything regarding older NumPy, which is nothing to do with newer
NumPy, which is why common libraries (such as PyOpenGL) ask for NumPy
v23 when the latest download on SourceForge is 0.9.8.

Numeric libraries in Python are a nomenclatural nightmare. It's well
past time that something made it into the standard library, I feel.
