You can use floats for the indices in the take method, they are floored
before use. That said, the Fortran FLOOR function returns integers and it
would be useful if numpy had integer versions of floor, ceil, divmod, say,
ifloor, iceil, idivmod that raised errors if the resulting integers
overflowed.
