In response, I have modified 
<URL:http://www.scipy.org/MatrixIndexing#guidelines>
to try to clarify what was meant and perhaps to address
your core concerns.

PS Perhaps I should note that I have come around to what 
I take to be Tim H's view that matrix indexing should should 
work just like ndarray indexing, except that when it 
produces a 2d result then a matrix is returned.  (This means 
giving up the current behavior of ``x[0,:]``.)  I also agree 
with those who want ``rows`` and ``cols`` attributes for 
iteration.  A small difference: I would have these yield 
matrices.  (I.e., no need for a new "vector" type.)
