Comment(by pv):

 The behavior does make sense, and it is what would naturally be expected.
 From the point of view of iteration, a N-dim ndarray *is* a collection of
 (N-1)-dim sub-arrays. The list constructor merely retains the consistency
 between `list(a)[j]` and `list(a[j])`. I don't see any reason to change
 this behavior, as raveling is a separate operation.
