Research direction
Review the referenced issue #3803 for context on missing functionality. Examine existing numpy function implementations in Numba's source, such as the ufunc machinery in 'numba/npyufunc/'. Check the comments on this issue for any proposed approaches or challenges. Consider starting by implementing a simple version using @vectorize or @jit and then integrating with Numba's dispatch system.
