[Matrix-SIG] A Patch to only convert rank-0 arrays if they match Python Objects

[Travis Oliphant]

Following up on the compromise suggested by Konrad for conversion of
rank-0 arrays, I propose the following minor patch so that single
Aprecision rank-0 arrays do not get automatically converted to Python
scalars.
