[SciPy-dev] Plea for help

[Christopher Hanley]

This module was created to provide backward compatibility with  
numarray.  It's functionality is modeled after the numarray.strings  
module.  You can find some online documentation for that module here:

http://stsdas.stsci.edu/numarray/numarray-1.5.html/node42.html

I believe that this module should be kept as part of numpy.  There are  
going to be projects that ported their code from numarray to numpy  
that depend on this module.
