What I cannot understand is why you use a zero-dimensional array to
represent a scalar. Scalars are directly supported in Python:

x = 5

Also, in an assignment, what are you putting on the right-hand side?
A read access from another zero-dimensional array?

I think this feature is so esoteric that it would actually hurt the
language to have it.
