Probably not avoided, or should probably not be called ?

I can see at least one: numpy.lib.issubtype in core/defmatrix.py, called 
once. I am trying to see why importing numpy is slow, and those circular 
import make the thing difficult to understand (or maybe I am just too 
new to dtrace to understand how to use it effectively here).
