Perhaps what people are missing, is that the name of the new array 
object is *ndarray*.   Try type(array([10,20]))  to see what I mean.

Because it is a *new-style* builtin type, it can be constructed by 
calling the type object:

scipy.ndarray(...)

Normally people use scipy.array  to construct an array but subclasses 
need to be able to access the class constructor.

So, I'm concerned about confusing the class constructor with a 
*sub-package*.  Does, that make sense?
