This NEP proposes adding full support for the 2022.12 version of the array API
standard in NumPy's main namespace for the 2.0 release.

Adoption in the main namespace has a number of advantages; most importantly for
libraries that depend on NumPy and want to start supporting other array
libraries. SciPy and scikit-learn are two prominent libraries already moving
along this path. The need to support the array API standard in the main
namespace draws from lessons learned by those libraries and the experimental
``numpy.array_api`` implementation with a different array object.
There will also be benefits for other array libraries, JIT compilers like Numba,
and for end users who may have an easier time switching between different array
libraries.
