I think this is not necessary as you can always distinguish if the user is
passing a numarray or Numeric object, like in:

In [3]: a=Numeric.array([1,2])

In [4]: b=numarray.array([1,2])

In [5]: type(a)
Out[5]: <type 'array'>

In [6]: type(b)
Out[6]: <class 'numarray.NumArray'>


It's just a check before accessing the object.
