For the (relatively common) case where a single matrix index is the
result of a call to find(), it seems like it would make more sense to
return a special `indexing object' that could be used on a matrix of
the same shape as the one passed to find() without having to worry
about do_fortran_indexing.  Would that make sense, or do you think it
would also be too restrictive?
