Since chararray doesn't currently have any tests, I'm writing some, and I ran across a couple of things that didn't make sense to me:
1. The code for __mul__ is exactly the same as that for __rmul__; is there any reason __rmul__ shouldn't just call __mul__? 1.5. __radd__ seems like it doesn't do anything fundamentally different from __add__, is there a reason to have a separate implementation of __radd__? 2. The behavior of __mul__ seems odd: >>> Q=np.chararray((2,2),itemsize=1,buffer='abcd') >>> Q chararray([['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']], dtype='|S1') >>> Q*3 chararray([['aaa', 'bbb'], ['ccc', 'ddd']], dtype='|S4') >>> Q*4 chararray([['aaaa', 'bbbb'], ['cccc', 'dddd']], dtype='|S4') >>> Q*5 chararray([['aaaa', 'bbbb'], ['cccc', 'dddd']], dtype='|S4') Is it supposed to work this way?
