Description
In #6075, I wondered whether it might be possible to
to have some simple way to use the output of
np.arg[min|max|sort]as a proper index (to avoid hackery as in https://github.com/astropy/astropy/blob/master/astropy/time/core.py#L896 -- if there is a simpler way already, let me know!)
and @jaimefrio suggested that it might be simpler to have
a
make_me_an_indexing_tuple=Falsenew keyword argument for theargxxxfunctions?That indeed seems better, so I'm raising this as a separate issue. The code linked to above could be used as a template on how to generate the index tuple.
