One of those places where `kiva.agg.GraphicsContextArray` is explicitly used is in the Chaco `ImagePlot`: https://github.com/enthought/chaco/blob/4a6683521cce012b5df4830d64f41518798fc817/chaco/image_plot.py#L73-L74 There's no real reason that that must explicitly depend on `kiva.agg`. Instead, `_compute_cached_image()` could/should take...

I suspect the main thing to make the `celiagg` backend a drop-in replacement for these explicit uses of `GraphicsContextArray` is to expose `self.gc.array` as `self.bmp_array`. We do use `GraphicsContextArray` elsewhere...

bc.. It is not possible to fix this in the normal ways. The pickle mechanism handles instances of metaclasses (e.g. instances of FunctionClass) before it checks any of the customization...

@matthew-brett Invitation sent. When you have your fork set up, I'll lock this one. Thank you!

You'll want to update the metadata and URLs in the `setup.py` and `README`.

I wonder if [byte-pair encoding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_pair_encoding) would be an interesting algorithm to implement in this chapter. I suspect it's probably right-sized for implementing in a book chapter. While it's not a...

[Yup!](https://numpy.org/doc/1.26/reference/random/extending.html#cython)

[`Generator.bit_generator`](https://numpy.org/doc/1.26/reference/random/generated/numpy.random.Generator.bit_generator.html) is a public attribute on `Generator`.
