I almost started this project twice but then I realized I would shoot
me in the foot if I started it alone and gave up. If we do it as a
community project, I would gladly give a hand. The idea would be to
start it as a third-party project and merge it in numpy when it's
ready (IMO, sparse arrays are such a basic requirement that they
should go in numpy, not scipy). The project can be bootstrapped by
depending on scipy.sparse at first (the long term goal being to not
depend on it).

Regarding missing values, this could be helpful in the dense case:
