Numpy ships built-in type hints as well as a type for hinting arrays in your own code (numpy.typing.NDArray). The real challenge is denoting what you can accept as input. `NDArray[np.floating] \| pd.Series[float] \| float` is a start but doesn't cover everything especially if you are a library author trying to provide a good type-hinted API.

I'm aware of that. As explained in the original comment, not being able to denote dimensionality in those is a major limitation.
