We've also been bit by the disappearing dimensions problem, where arrays of
dimensions [10,1] (for example) automatically turned into an array of dimension
[10] when we didn't want it to. There are a lot of times when you want this to
happen, but there are also times when you don't. I certainly wouldn't want IDL
to start second guessing us even more than it does already.
