#2067: when x is an N-D array, list(x) produces surprising results

 x= array([[1,2],[3,4]])

 list(x)
 [array([1, 2]), array([3, 4])]

 list(x.ravel())
 [1, 2, 3, 4]

 The behavior of list(x) is not what any reasonable person would want, and
 does not make sense conceptually either.  (A Numpy 2-D array is not a
 nesting of 1-D arrays).  list(x.ravel()) works but is cumbersome.
