Actually this is still an option if to put the above
to a A.as_array method something like

class A(tuple):
    def as_array(self):
        import numpy
        obj = numpy.empty(1,dtype=object)
        obj[0] = self
        return obj

but it would be nice if the __array__ method also worked.
Could this be something that should be put to issues or
would it just get a WontFix flag?

Thanks again,
