Deserializes a JSONified :obj:`numpy.ndarray`. Can handle arrays serialized
    using any of the methods in this module: :obj:`"npy"`, :obj:`"b64"`,
    :obj:`"readable"`.

    Args:
        d (`dict`): A dictionary representation of an :obj:`ndarray` object.

    Returns:
        An :obj:`ndarray` object.
