Numpy does have true 1-dimensional vectors, but it still thinks that a
an array of dimensions [1,1,3] is 3-dimensional. You might be happier
with Numpy than Octave.

It is difficult to predict in advance when does it matter if a vector
is row or column, so we can't do this everywhere. We do do it in
several instances, but each case requires individual consideration.

I don't think "isvector" should return "true" if there is only one
non-singleton dimension. Perhaps it should, but this would break
Matlab compatibility. You might want to make more liberal use of the
"squeeze" function if leading singleton dimensions are causing you
frequent grief.
