Contiguous 1-d arrays are always both C and Fortran contiguous,
because, well, there's no difference in 1-d.

In 2-d there is a difference between C and Fortran contiguity, and for
the sake of conceptual symmetry, 1x1 (or Nx1 or 1xN) are not
special-cased. Ditto with ndim > 2: even if every dimension is 1 (or
ndim-1 of them are), arrays can only be C- or Fortran-contiguous in
terms of their flag specs.
