The current behavior is perfectly well defined, and I don't want a lot of
warnings showing up because .T works suddenly only for ndim != 1.
I make lots of mistakes during programming. But shape mismatch are usually
very fast to catch.

If you want safe programming, then force everyone to use only 2-D like in
matlab. It would have prevented me from making many mistakes.

>>> np.array(1).T
array(1)

another noop. Why doesn't it convert it to 2d?
