Add numpy support? #62

Closed SethMMorton closed 1 year ago

Describe the feature or enhancement

Add support for operating on numpy arrays.

Provide a concrete example of how the feature or enhancement will improve fastnumbers

I'm not 100% if this would be useful... generally, we don't store strings in numpy arrays so I don't know when one would be needing to perform a string to float/int conversion on a numpy array.

It might be useful in pandas, where stringish data is often stored, but pandas has its own very fast conversion functionality, especially when using read_csv, so I'm not sure how much value this would even bring there.

My guess is that if #61 were implemented, it would cover most of the cases where this feature would be needed.

It's more useful to be able to output numpy arrays... I'll start by implementing that, and see how easy reading them in would be after that.
