I do not think so. I think the warning should say:
"use x[0,:] instead of x[0] to return row 0 as a matrix."

My understanding of the plan:
- step 1: scalar indexing and iteration returns 1d
arrays.
- possible step 2: scalar indexing and iteration
return "oriented" 1d-array-like objects ("vectors")
suitable for linear algebra.
Personally, I only care that step 1 is achieved.
