Not to mention all the pain of making sure the arrays are wrapped and stay wrapped in the first place. In particular in combination with other array wrappers. I wasn't saying this is absolutely needed, just that it'd be a really convenient feature helpful for caching. Sometimes, introducing fast caching this way can remove a lot of logic from the code. Introducing a Python-space visible wrapper object kind of defeats the purpose for me.
