ENH: added parameter to use periodic x-coordinates
DOC: Updated from numeric doc to indicate where axis can also be a tuple of ints, i.e. axes, over which to perform the given operation
BUG: Make numpy import when run with Python flag '-OO'.

This consists of checking for a docstring equal to None and skipping two
tests that require docstrings.

Closes #5148.
TST: Add test with python flag -OO.

MAINT: Improve computation of scaled companion matrices.

The previous method used for hermite and hermite_e polynomials suffered
from double overflow for polynomials of large degree. Those numbers were
later scaled down by equally large numbers, but the result was NaN. The
wanted values are now computed in such a way that overflow in some
entries is replaced by underflow in others. The resulting zeros are a
negligible perturbation of the companion matrix.
MAINT: Improve computation of gauss weights for hermite and hermite_e.

The new computations use normalized polynomials. Those polynomials are
less subject to overflow and allow the determination of the weights and
roots up to about degree 350, at which point the weights underflow.

Two private functions are added for computing the values of the
normalized polynomials:

1. _normed_hermite_n
2. _normed_hermite_e_n

BUG: remove static from function to avoid gcc-4.1 miscompile

gcc 4.1.2 (e.g. in red hat 5) will miscompile the function when
inlining. Without static it will not inline solving the issue.
Closes gh-5163
BUG: Make f2py work with intent(in out).

Note that Fortran ignores spaces in this case, so that 'in out' is
treated as 'inout'.

Closes #479.
TST: Add basic test for compiling with intent(in out).

This checks that the compilation works and that the expected error
is raised when non-contiguous arrays are passed as intent(in out).

MAINT: replace bytewise copy with memcpy

memcpy takes care of unaligned memory and is inlined by the compiler,
there is no need for own code.

ENH: allow auto vectorization of integer loops

Generalize the loop specializations with two new macros UNARY_LOOP_FAST
and BINARY_LOOP_FAST and apply it to more integer loops.
Same also gh-4561 which did this for integer boolean operations.
