+Start and stop arrays for ``linspace``, ``logspace`` and ``geomspace``
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+These functions used to be limited to scalar stop and start values, but can
+now take arrays, which will be properly broadcast and result in an output
+which has one axis prepended.  This can be used, e.g., to obtain linearly
+interpolated points between sets of points.
