But there is not universal agreement that x[0] == x[0,:] is desirable. In contrast, there *is* universal agreement that x[0][0]==x[0,0] is desirable. Or so I've understood the discussion. As you know, my view is that nonscalar indexing should return submatrices, while scalar indexing should return 1d arrays. Thus I do not see x[0] != x[0,:] as breakage: it is desirable. Indeed, without it, we will have an untenable situation, under all the different proposals. So it is a goner one way or another.
