I'm not sure how it applies to this discussion, but I'd just like to mention
that a lot of interest (in c++ and d communities) has moved away from using
iterators as the fundamental interface to containers and to ranges as the
interface.

Thanks for the long email. I think there are a lot of thoughts around some of
these ideas and it is good to get as many of them articulated as possible.
I learn much from these kinds of discussions.I think others value them as
well.
I like your ideas about what kind of overloading hook

Interesting, I didn't read about that.
In fact, I was playing around with a proxy wrapper for ndarrays not long
ago, in order to build a tree of deferred operations that can be later

I understand the desire to keep things simple, which is why I am only proposing
a rather small change to the array object with *huge* implications ---
encompassing the very cool deferred arrays that Mark Wiebe is proposin

Just to start the conversation, and to find out who is interested, I would like
to informally propose generator arrays for NumPy 2.0. This concept has as
one use-case, the deferred arrays that Mark Wiebe has proposed. But, it also
allows for "compressed arrays", on-the-fly computed arrays,
