I would think so. In addition, at the expense of being slightly
inaccurate, I would change that to simply a.sum(axis, dtype)/a.size .
This will only be inaccurate if dtype is integer and true division is
not enabled.  If you want to be pedantic, a.sum(axis,
dtype)/float(a.size) would still read better.
