---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
 In the following example, numpy.asarray chooses the dtype '|S1', causing
 the integer 10's string form to be truncated to '1'

 >>> numpy.asarray(['1', 10])
 array(['1', '1'],
       dtype='|S1')

 >>> numpy.__version__
 '1.6.1'
