[Numpy-discussion] "can cast safely" table

[Pierre Haessig]

Hi,

While getting through the ufunc documentation,
(http://docs.scipy.org/numpy/docs/numpy-docs/reference/ufuncs.rst/)
I took the liberty to change one line in the code segment which
generates the "can cast safely" table. I wanted to increase the
readability if the table by increasing its contrast. To this end, I
replaced the character '0' by '-'. (I copy pasted the result below). Now
two questions :

1) One thing is that some of you may not like this change and I'm fine
with that because this was just for fun !
2) A slightly more important thing is to double check that the table
content is unchanged. Indeed, the table caption says it was generated on
a 32 bits machine while my computer is running a 64 bits Linux. I
believe that the table I generated was the same, but please make sure I
didn't mess up something.

Best,
Pierre
