This sounds like an argument for renaming the `mean` function `naivemean`
rather than `mean`.  Whatever numpy names `mean`, shouldn't it
implement an algorithm that produces the mean?  And obviously, for any
float data type, the mean value of the values in the array is representable
as a value of the same type.
