I was updating some code that uses a custom array container built with the 
mixin library.  Specifically, I was trying to eliminate some warnings due to 
the change to the __array__ interface to add a copy argument.  In doing so, I 
discovered that, for two objects u, v in my container class, the code:

u[…] = v

performs a copy on v.  Specifically, it calls __array__() with copy=True.  This 
seems unnecessary and wasteful of memory.  Can someone explain to me what is 
happening here?

Thanks.
