    The `chararray` class exists for backwards compatibility with

    1.4, if one needs arrays of strings, it is recommended to use arrays of

+These are enhanced arrays of either :class:`str_` type or

 :class:`ndarray`, but specially-define the operations ``+``, ``*``,
 and ``%`` on a (broadcasting) element-by-element basis.  These
 operations are not available on the standard :class:`ndarray` of
 character type. In addition, the :class:`chararray` has all of the

 way to create a chararray is to use :meth:`self.view(chararray)
