I sure like the idea of this.

I agree that this should be external to numpy. At least until it becomes a 
standard in a sense that json itself is.

And that n-dimensional array should ideally be extended to indexed structures 
with named dimensions and attributes. To accommodate a superset of: xarray & 
scipp.
