+""" Basic functions used by several sub-packages and useful to have in the
+main name-space
+
+Type handling
+==============
+iscomplexobj -- Test for complex object, scalar result
+isrealobj -- Test for real object, scalar result
+iscomplex -- Test for complex elements, array result
+isreal -- Test for real elements, array result
+imag -- Imaginary part
+real -- Real part
+real_if_close -- Turns complex number with tiny imaginary part to real
+isneginf -- Tests for negative infinity ---|
+isposinf -- Tests for positive infinity |
+isnan -- Tests for nans |---- array results
+isinf -- Tests for infinity |
+isfinite -- Tests for finite numbers ---|
+isscalar -- True if argument is a scalar
+nan_to_num -- Replaces NaN's with 0 and infinities with large numbers
+cast -- Dictionary of functions to force cast to each type
+common_type -- Determine the 'minimum common type code' for a group
+ of arrays
+mintypecode -- Return minimal allowed common typecode.
+
+Index tricks
+==================
+mgrid -- Method which allows easy construction of N-d 'mesh-grids'
+r_ -- Append and construct arrays: turns slice objects into
+ ranges and concatenates them, for 2d arrays appends
+ rows.
+index_exp -- Konrad Hinsen's index_expression class instance which
+ can be useful for building complicated slicing syntax.
+
+Useful functions
+==================
+select -- Extension of where to multiple conditions and choices
+extract -- Extract 1d array from flattened array according to mask
+insert -- Insert 1d array of values into Nd array according to mask
+linspace -- Evenly spaced samples in linear space
+logspace -- Evenly spaced samples in logarithmic space
+fix -- Round x to nearest integer towards zero
+mod -- Modulo mod(x,y) = x % y except keeps sign of y
+amax -- Array maximum along axis
+amin -- Array minimum along axis
+ptp -- Array max-min along axis
+cumsum -- Cumulative sum along axis
+prod -- Product of elements along axis
+cumprod -- Cumluative product along axis
+diff -- Discrete differences along axis
+angle -- Returns angle of complex argument
+unwrap -- Unwrap phase along given axis (1-d algorithm)
+sort_complex -- Sort a complex-array (based on real, then imaginary)
+trim_zeros -- trim the leading and trailing zeros from 1D array.
+
+vectorize -- a class that wraps a Python function taking scalar
+ arguments into a generalized function which
+ can handle arrays of arguments using the broadcast
+ rules of numerix Python.
+
+Shape manipulation
+===================
+squeeze -- Return a with length-one dimensions removed.
+atleast_1d -- Force arrays to be > 1D
+atleast_2d -- Force arrays to be > 2D
+atleast_3d -- Force arrays to be > 3D
+vstack -- Stack arrays vertically (row on row)
+hstack -- Stack arrays horizontally (column on column)
+column_stack -- Stack 1D arrays as columns into 2D array
+dstack -- Stack arrays depthwise (along third dimension)
+split -- Divide array into a list of sub-arrays
+hsplit -- Split into columns
+vsplit -- Split into rows
+dsplit -- Split along third dimension
+
+Matrix (2d array) manipluations
+===============================
+fliplr -- 2D array with columns flipped
+flipud -- 2D array with rows flipped
+rot90 -- Rotate a 2D array a multiple of 90 degrees
+eye -- Return a 2D array with ones down a given diagonal
+diag -- Construct a 2D array from a vector, or return a given
+ diagonal from a 2D array.
+mat -- Construct a Matrix
+bmat -- Build a Matrix from blocks
+
+Polynomials
+============

+ppimport_attr -- Postpone module import until trying to use its
+ attribute
+ppresolve -- Import postponed module and return it.
+
+Machine arithmetics
+===================
+machar_single -- MachAr instance storing the parameters of system
+ single precision floating point arithmetics
+machar_double -- MachAr instance storing the parameters of system
+ double precision floating point arithmetics
+
+Threading tricks
