I can roughly understand why a.ravel() returns a matrix; but is there a good reason to forbid truly flattening the matrix? My instincts are that a flatiter object should not have this hidden "feature": flatiter objects should produce a consistent behavior in all settings, regardless of the underlying array. Anything else will prove too surprising. fwiw, Alan Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
