The use-case is precisely the use-case for dtype='S' on Py2 except
that it also works on Py3.

I'm wondering though what the use-case really is. The P3 text model
(actually the py2 one, too), is quite clear that you want users to think
of, and work with, text as text -- and not care how things are encoding in
the underlying implementation. You only want the

There have been a few threads discussing the problems of how to do
text with numpy arrays in Python 3.
To make a slightly more concrete proposal, I've implemented a pure
Python ndarray subclass that I believe can consistently handle
text/bytes in Python 3. It is intended to be an illustration
