+``dtype`` option for `cov` and `corrcoef`
+----------------------------------------------------
+The ``dtype`` option is now available for `numpy.cov` and `numpy.corrcoef`.
+It specifies which data-type the returned result should have.
+By default the functions still return a `numpy.float64` result.
