Today I was surprised by this:: >>> import numpy >>> numpy.__version__ '1.0.dev3341' >>> numpy.prod(()) 1.0
Wouldn't be 0.0 a more natural answer? I understand that 1 is neutral
on product operations, but I still can't see why 1.0 is a better answer.
Sorry for the clueless question, but I have searched lists, docstrings
and web and found nothing about this.
(BTW, the definitions of ``prod()`` and ``product()`` are still
identical as noted by Sebastian Haase some time ago.)
