 {{{
 >>> import numpy as np
 >>> z = np.array([1j])
 >>> zz = np.zeros((2,), dtype=object)
 >>> zz.fill(z)
 >>> zz
 array([[ 0.+1.j], [ 0.+1.j]], dtype=object)
 >>> zz * np.float64(5)
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'numpy.ndarray' and
 'numpy.float64'
 >>> zz * 5.
 array([[ 0.+5.j], [ 0.+5.j]], dtype=object)
 >>>
 }}}

 In my humble estimation, that TypeError shouldn't be happening.
