Hrmpf. It should be reshape.
(Which would be its own inverse and saves a keyword.)

reshape() has already been proposed (RFC 148):

However I like the Numeric Python reshape() semantics better:

Is that in any significant way different from PDL's reshape?

PS: How does one pronounce 'hrmpf'?
So I thought of a serious problem with part of this RFC. The bit
about using indirect object syntax...
Instead, this RFC proposes that Ctie's operation become much more
fundamental, simply translating functions via the existing indirect
object syntax:

I'm not so sure about this.
I'm not either anymore. This will probably be removed from the next

Good idea.
Also notice that I suggested the TIE be called as a method,
so that it can be inherited if necessary (maybe you had that idea
already???)

That's not right.
You're correct. Sorry for not double-checking my examples.

The tie *can* currently be inherited.
Yes, I was aware. It's just that you wrote:

How would the parser handle this? Some '}' would need ';' some don't.
The trailing C parameter specification tells the parser that there

Would it be possible to expand the function prototypes so that a function
could be defined to take a loop block instead of a code block?
I'm not sure what you mean here.
