hi mattip

  > why should we implement this abstract class?

it rather exists already in pypy:

>>>> np.integer
<type 'numpypy.integer'>

>>>> isinstance(np.int32(1), np.integer)
True

>>>> isinstance(np.int64(1), np.integer)
True

as to this question and the previous one:

  > these seem like needless interfaces, is there an actual use case for them?


the intent was like that: one could make it more compatible with original numpy, if it is a 
*few* lines of patching, of course.
