Aaaaagh! The major reason I hate Matlab is all the "Have I got a row vector
or a column vector?" rubbish! I feel like picking it up & shaking it &
saying, "No, it's not a matrix, it's not a column vector, it's not a row
vector, it's just a list of numbers. It's not dimensioned (n,1) and it's not
dimensioned (1,n), it's dimensioned (n). You can print it vertically, you
can print it horizontally, I don't care, it's just a list of numbers!"

And now JD shows us how to confuse ourselves with row vectors and column
vectors in IDL! As if HISTOGRAM wasn't enough. JD, I call down a curse on
you, and your children, and your children's chil.....[falls from chair in
paroxysm of rage]
