To rephrase my most pressing question: may np.ones((N,2)).mean(0) and
np.ones((2,N)).mean(1) produce different results with the implementation in
the current master? If so, I think that would be very much regrettable; and
if this is a minority opinion, I do hope that at least this gets documented
in a most explicit manner.
