[C++-sig] Using Numpy C API with boost python numeric

[Jim Bosch]

I'm pretty sure the numeric::array stuff doesn't actually use the
NumPy C API, and hence it doesn't call import_array.  It just relies
on the Python interface to NumPy objects, which is why it doesn't
support things like accessing the raw data pointers.  So there
shouldn't be any problem with using the NumPy C API with it.

That said, I think it's always good practice to follow the NumPy C API
docs for multiple source files and define a unique preprocessor symbol
to import the NumPy API with, i.e.:
