[Numpy-discussion] use of concatenate with subclass of ndarray

[Bryce Hendrix]

Yeah, I think we may need to write some custom wrapper functions for the 
functions we use which don't call __new__. I don't really see another 
way around it since by the time __array_finalize__ gets called there are 
no units and the problems with mixed units.
