[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] returning scalars or rank-0 arrays..

[Konrad HINSEN]

   One issue I've come accross is the "what do I return, a rank-0 entity or
   a scalar?".  My understanding of the current scheme is that indexing
   returns scalars, while slicing returns ranked entities, even if that
   rank is 0.  Is that correct?

I am not sure what the current implementation does, but the idea was
that rank-0 arrays should always automatically be converted to
scalars.
