Research direction

Start with the reported R and NumPy reproduction and trace the py_ref_to_r conversion failure for NumPy array type 21. Done means np$datetime64("now") converts successfully with convert = TRUE and a regression test covers the case.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

E.g. this fails:

> np <- import("numpy", convert = TRUE)
> np$datetime64("now")
Error in py_ref_to_r(x) : 
  Conversion from numpy array type 21 is not supported
