Two other issues come up trying to implement the "rank-0 experiment":

1.  What should be the behavior of subscripting a rank-0 array?

a.  Return the scalar value                         (what numarray does 
now.  seems inconsistent)
b.  Raise an exception
c.  Return a copy  of the rank-0 array

2.  What's a decent notation for .asScalar()?

a.  a[ <subscript_resulting_in_rank0>  ][0]                (what numarray 
does now)
b.  a[ <subscript_resulting_in_rank0>  ]()                  (override 
__call__)
c.  a[ <subscript_resulting_in_rank0>  ].asScalar()  

Any strong opinions?
