It's a bit late, but I want to support your proposal (most of it).
I've also come to the conclusion that scalars and rank-0 arrays should
coexist. This is something that appears as a natural fact when you
have to deal regularly with general algorithms for treat objects with
different shapes. And I think you have put this very well.

Thanks,
