Yes, I think this is the best thing to do. It removes the (apparent or
not) inconsistency, and does what I would expect from the principle of
least surprise. The other solutions, like the Proxy class and Terry's
suggestion of adding a comma to uni-dimensional slices (c[:-1,]) are
interesting, but they are not consistent with Numeric slices. I'll
keep them in mind, though.

Thanks,
