Thanks :-)

For me, the most annoying thing is the inconsistency. If all gave a
{3,3,1} array (permute as necessary), then there'd be less of a problem.
However to my mind, it would still be better to return [3,3] every time,
as happens in Fortran. For example, what if the next time I had a
[3,3,3,3] array, and wanted to hand off the 2D slice [1,*,2,*] for analysis?
