Changes (by oliphant):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => invalid

Comment:

 This is not necessarily true.  Array scalars are not considered special.
 They are just scalars.  When two scalars are involved in an operation, the
 normal rules of coercion apply.  Different rules would require a change to
 NumPy that needs to wait until 1.1

 This is intended behavior.
