-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 Automatic dtype conversion is performed when dtype object is compared with
 something of different class. A special case is that None is converted to
 the default dtype.

 This result in surprising behavior when comparing with None:
 >>> numpy.dtype('float64') == None
 True
 >>> numpy.dtype('float32') == None
 False

 This behaviour is present in numpy at least 1.3.0 - 1.5.0.
