One thing that may be confusing the issue is that, as I understand it, FORTRAN and CONTIGUOUS together represent three states which I'll call FORTRAN_ORDER, C_ORDER and DISCONTIGUOUS. I periodically wonder if it would be valuable to have a way to query the order directly: the result would be "C", "F" or None, just like the order keyword that is passed in. This might well eliminate sine confusion. However, 99% of the time the order just doesn't matter, so it's probably pointless.
