Eventhough I do not know the timeseries module, I wouldn't be surprised
that it is indeed the case. It is probably very valuable if you are able
to identify localized enhancements to numpy that make your life easier,
as they might make many other people's life easier.

I think that it is really great if the different packages doing time
series analysis unite. It will probably give better packages technically, 
and there is a lot of value to the community in such work.
