readAsciiTable and automatic array dimension reduction

Hello,

A minor observation:

When using readAsciiTable(filename,1,"float",0)
to read one column of data, it returns an array
with dimensions numpt x 1.

I was assuming that it would return an array of
dimension numpt , based on NCL's automatic array
dimension reduction feature.

If you do

data = readAsciiTable(filename,1,"float",0)

and then

newdata = data(:,0)

the dimension of "newdata" is a 1D array of
length numpt.

I'm not sure what should be the preferred
behaviour of readAsciiTable ?

Thanks, Bruce
