The default value +is ``False`` which is consistent with the behavior of `numpy.copy` for +previous numpy versions. To create a copy that preserves an array subclass with +`numpy.copy`, call ``np.copy(arr, subok=True)``. This addition better documents +that the default behavior of `numpy.copy` differs from the +`numpy.ndarray.copy` method which respects array subclasses by default. |
