Description

Description

#35 Added support for a bunch of numpy types. Numpy now has more types like np.bool_ and np.bytes etc. we should probably support them.

Motivation

Everyone loves faster Python.

Design / Implementation Considerations

If we could all the containers to the same numpy.array might simplify logic around generation.
