Re: [Numpy-discussion] NumPy Glossary: a request for review

[Zachary P. <zp...@st...>]

The "broadcasting" entry is somewhat unclear in terms of what  
"conforming" array shapes are. Perhaps "compatible shapes" would be  
better, coupled with an example or two of "compatible" shapes, and/or  
a precise definition of how compatibility is determined.
