Numba support

(Moving the discussion to a separate issue)

Mario Boley: Will this work also well together with Numba?

changed the description

I had a quick look at this and it seems like numba cannot infer the return types from sortednp methods. Nevertheless, you can compile it if you set forceobj, although this has some performance implications.

import numpy as np
from numba import jit
import sortednp as snp

@jit(forceobj=True) 
def foo(): 
    a = np.array([1,2,3,4,4,4,5]) 
    b = np.array([2,3,3,5]) 
    return snp.intersect(a, b) 

Let's see what's necessary to make numba able to infer the correct return types.
