Comment(by Sven Marnach):

 The function `searchsorted()` does basically the same thing as
 `digitize()`, but uses a binary search.
 {{{
 numpy.digitize(a, b)
 }}}
 is equivalent to
 {{{
 numpy.searchsorted(b, a, "right")
 }}}
 Maybe `digitize()` should be removed (or wrapped to call
 `searchsorted()`).
