-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------
 When I try to write to the transpose of an array, I get

 {{{AttributeError: attribute 'T' of 'numpy.ndarray' objects is not
 writable}}}

 which seems fine, but the write _has_ actually taken place.
 In particular, this occurs with in-place operations (+= etc).

 Test code:
 {{{
 a = np.array ([1,2,3]).reshape ((1,3))
 b = np.array ([4,5,6]).reshape ((3,1))
 a.T += b
 }}}

 The result is the above error is raised and the operation actually goes
 ahead anyway.  I would expect only one or the other.
