(Although I'm open to a fuller > argument.) The object is not 2D. You can assemble several objects into something that looks 2D, but it is not 2D. For exemple: [[1, 2, 3], [1, 2]] This is not 2D in an nd array sens. It how exposes a double successiv indexing, but doubly 1D, and no 2D. For nD objects, I think people should rather use either nD indexing, or explicite 1D indexing of an nD object. By this is mean "A[1, ...]" rather than "A[1]". If the later breaks, I, for one, won't cry.
