I'm not really concerned about buggy code accidentally triggering this 
functionality. At the same time, if such a change is accepted, then it needs to 
be documented and demos should be needed.

I'm not sure a new squeezable N-D array will do the job in a clean way. Maybe 
I'm missing something? Are you thinking of overloading the plot function?
