Sorry, I never really read about what are ufuncs. I thought those are class
methods of the ndarray objects... Anyway, I was refering to the following
difference:

In [7]: a
Out[7]:
array([[ 0,  1,  2,  3,  4,  5],
       [ 6,  7,  8,  9, 10, 11]])

In [8]: a.take([0])
Out[8]: array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]])

In [9]: take(a,[0])
Out[9]: array([0])

To be sure I understood: Does axis=None then mean, that take operates on the
flattened array?
