Function PyArray_LookupSpecial

* Lookup a special method, following the python approach of looking up * on the type object, rather than on the instance itself. * * Assumes that the special method is a numpy-specific one, so does not look * at builtin types. It does check base ndarray and numpy scalar types. * * In future, could be made more like _Py_LookupSpecial */
