In NumPy, the data-type objects have function pointers to accomplish all the things NumPy does quickly.

If the datatype object is to be extracted and made a stand-alone feature, that might need to be refactored.

Perhaps there could be a facility for traversing a datatype with a user-supplied dispatch table?
