Comment:

 It's not necessary to introduce the "adouble" type, just making u an
 object array is enough:

 {{{
 In [19]: v = np.array([2,3], dtype=object)

 In [20]: v * z[0]
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call
 last)
 /home/mwiebe/<ipython-input-20-384f41272ec5> in <module>()
 ----> 1 v * z[0]

 TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'numpy.ndarray' and
 'numpy.float64'
 }}}
