We were thinking of raising a warning on scalar indexing for 1.1, but given the above, would that be sensical?
There seem to be three basic proposals for scalar indexing: - raise an error - return a 1d array - return a new type of 1d container (apparently to be called a "vector" for some reason ...) I do not think anyone is still arguing in favor of the keeping the current behavior (where scalar indexing returns a matrix)? So the question seems to be: how best to warn users that the behavior of scalar indexing is very likely to change. Cheers, Alan Isaac
