Some archaelogy shows that 618a8d4 seems to have taken it from Numeric, which provided Int0.

Numeric's IntN seemed to mean meaning C99s int_leastN_t, suggesting that Int0 should be signed char.

So why is np.int0 an alias of np.intp?

In Numeric, Int0 is indeed equivalent to Int8. There's no real reason for it to exist at all, though, fixed or unfixed. I don't recommend using it. Or letting its anomalous existence bother you much. :-)

I will close this in favor of the new gh-15334 (renaming it as a documentation and/or deprecation) not that it matters which one is open. Included the info about int8 there.

But if there is no reason for it to exist, can I delete it safely? I don't want things with no purpose even if you want me to keep them if they have no purpose...
