Maybe the ideal would be to have it be ravel_index/unravel_flatindex, but the unravel_index function already existed as precedent. On the other hand, in lots of contexts just saying "index" sounds like it should be one number, not a tuple, which is why in the iterator API the "index" usage refers to a C or Fortran-order flat index. Of the options we've considered so far, probably ravel_multiindex is my favorite, though nothing has really stood out. -Mark
