I think we have simply replaced one problem by another one. I think this is a bad route to go. I think the only proposition that makes sens so far is the RowVector/ColumnVector. Yes you return a 1D object, but one that knows it is a linear algebra object, and not an array. I _really_ don't like a[i] != a[i,:]. I also don't like loosing the information that you are doing linear algebra.
