Considering the extent of implied breakage, I hope this will not be considered.
Also, there are already nice ways to add an axis (even optionally, with `atleast_2d`).

I think having `.T` as a no-op on a 1d array is correct behavior.
I would not change it.  However I can understand preferring an error.
(Mathematica considers it an error.)
