=================================== NEP 9 — Structured array extensions

:Status: Deferred

1. Create with-style context that makes "named-columns" available as names in the namespace.

with np.columns(array): price = unit * quantity

2. Allow structured arrays to be sliced by their column (i.e. one additional indexing option for structured arrays) so that a[:4, 'foo':'bar'] would be allowed.
