``align=`` must be passed as boolean to ``np.dtype()`` ------------------------------------------------------ When creating a new ``dtype`` a ``VisibleDeprecationWarning`` will be given if ``align=`` is not a boolean. This is mainly to prevent accidentally passing a subarray align flag where it has no effect, such as ``np.dtype("f8", 3)`` instead of ``np.dtype(("f8", 3))``. We strongly suggest to always pass ``align=`` as a keyword argument.
