Great  (assuming you mean __all__ = ndarray.__all__ + ...  ;-)  )

That's what I'm thinking, too.  But should we clobber the 
numerix.ndarray *sub-package* with the numerix.ndarray.ndarray 
*object*.   Isn't that the kind of thing we are trying to avoid doing?  
So, that somebody could do import numerix.ndarray if they were pedantic?
