Yes, the full array needs to be expanded since the numpy functions potentially 
need to operate on every value in the array. There is room for another 
implementation that instead simply mimics the numpy functions (and their 
handles) and provides smarter implementations for solving means and such when 
using a SparseVector. If that is preferable, I can modify the code to do that 
instead.

Note also that the unpacked array is automatically cleared out after the call.

I also just realized that I am not 100% sure if the garbage collection works as 
I am expecting. My assumption was that Python would automatically clean up 
after using the array, but since it is technically inside of the object's magic 
method I cannot tell if it might need another line to explicitly clear the 
array out.
