You are right, it doesn't need to.   My check is not general enough.

It can be challenging to come up with a general way to differentiate the
view-vs-copy situation and I struggled with it.  In this case, it's the
fact that while self->nd > 1, the other dimensions are only of shape 1
and so don't really matter.   If you could come up with some kind of
striding check that would distinguish the two cases, I would appreciate it.

I suppose the problem is mostly in discontiguous arrays. Hmmm..., this isn't too different that reshaping the transpose.

a.reshape((m,n),order='F' ~ a.reshape((n,m)).T.reshape(m,n)

for instance:

In [26]: a
Out[26]:
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [4, 5, 6]])

In [27]: a.reshape((3,2)).T.reshape((2,3))
Out[27]:
array([[1, 3, 5],
       [2, 4, 6]])

In [28]: a.reshape((2,3), order='F')
Out[28]:
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [4, 5, 6]])

Where I actually think the second reshape is correct and the third incorrect. This has the advantage that *all* the steps return views.
