If symmetry w.r.t. pytorch is any guide, it was nice to have it: In [38]: float(torch.as_tensor([2])) Out[38]: 2.0
In [39]: float(np.asarray([2])) Out[39]: 2.0 I guess this boils down to what is a scalar really: is it `scalar.size == 1` or `scalar.ndim == 0` or something else. But that's just a digression, nevermind.
