Helper function to "unroll" a array

[Gael Varoquaux]

    Hi all,

I didn't get any answers to this email. Is it because the proposed
addition to numpy is not of any interest to anybody apart from me ?
Maybe the way I introduced this is wrong. Please tell me what is wrong
with this proposition.

Regards,

Gaël
