I thought that the code had been changed so that it always returned a
column vector.  Actually, it was changed so that a single colon index
would always work, but you still need to set do_fortran_indexing to 1
to make it always return a column vector.

Perhaps this could be `fixed' for 2.1.x so that it always does the
Matlab-compatible thing.  Does anyone have a strong opinion either
way?
