No.
But it certainly should be. The first place to fix is the attribute
docstring which doesn't even mention it can be assigned to:
http://docs.scipy.org/numpy/docs/numpy.ndarray.shape/
Similar review should be done to all attribute docstrings. Second, a
separate more detailed discussion about memory layouts, views, etc.
should be written.
