How would you design a NumPy API that allows for custom array types while ensuring compatibility and extending functionality without compromising performance?

COVER // HOW WOULD YOU DESIGN A NUMPY API THAT ALLOWS FOR CUSTOM ARRAY TYPES WHILE ENSURING COMPATIBILITY AND EXTENDING FUNCTIONALITY WITHOUT COMPROMISING PERFORMANCE?

To design a NumPy API for custom array types, I would use subclassing of ndarray to create specialized arrays. This approach allows us to implement custom behaviors while retaining compatibility with existing NumPy functions, ensuring performance through optimized data handling and minimizing overhead.
