What is that supposed to mean for a 3-d array? Or even for 2-d?

Anyway, adding syntactic sugar like this can even be done by writing a
Python wrapper for arrays, with no changes to NumPy. Even if
that may be too inefficient for real applications, it is a great way
to test new proposals such as yours.
