Re: [Numpy-discussion] missing array type | Re: [Numpy-discussion] missing array type
Travis, I've noticed that you changed the code to allow x.strides = 0
<http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/changeset/2178> , but it does
not look like your changes alows creation of memory-saving zero stride
arrays:

> >> b = array([1])
> >> ndarray((5,), strides=(0,), buffer=b)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin> ", line 1, in ?
TypeError: buffer is too small for requested array

I would think memory-saving is the only justification for allowing
zero strides.

What use does your change enable?
