   This just came up in #70 (comment), motivated by scikit-learn adoption work.

   AFAICS, it is indeed unspecified in the spec and inconsistent across array libraries. Thus:

   • docs: clarify that behavior when provided a nested sequence to asarray is unspecified array-api#917 suggest to make it explicit in the spec
   • A PR with a fix to array-api-strict is welcome; will need to check the fallout at least in scipy.
