exactly what I was looking for:
def foo(x, sel=())
return x[sel]
I.e., passing an empty tuple returns the entire array without changing
x.shape or making a copy.

Say I use a function that expects a boolean array called sel to be passed as
an argument:
def foo(x,sel = None):
return x[sel]
If x is a 1-d array and sel is a (1-d) boolean array, x.shape will give (n,)
where n is len(x).
However, if the default value None is used (i.e., when no boolean arr
