x
matrix([[ 0,  1,  2,  3],
        [ 4,  5,  6,  7],
        [ 8,  9, 10, 11],
        [12, 13, 14, 15]])

idx
matrix([[1],
        [3]])

I'd like (if it doesn't break the consistency of numpy):

--------------------------------------

x[idx, :] to give

matrix([[ 4,  5, 6 , 7],
              12, 13, 14 ,15]])

instead of

matrix([[[ 4,  5,  6,  7]],

        [[12, 13, 14, 15]]])

--------------------------------------

x[:, idx] top give a 4x2 matrix instead of an error

--------------------------------------

x[x[:,0] > 4, :] to give a 2x4 matrix instead of a 1x2 matrix

--------------------------------------

I'd also like a pony.
