Indexing on row matrices

[Daniel J Sebald]

In working with assert.m and converting column vector indexed 
matrices/vectors to strings I'm wondering if the following is correct:

> > a = [11 22]
a =

   11   22

> > a ([1 2])
ans =

   11   22

> > a ([1; 2])
ans =

   11   22

I can easily work around this with

> > a ([1; 2]) (:)
ans =

   11
   22

but before doing so, I notice that the documentation isn't quite clear 
on what the outcome should be:

"
8.1 Index Expressions
=====================

   Vectors are indexed using a single index expression.  Matrices (2-D)
and higher multi-dimensional arrays are indexed using either one index
or N indices where N is the dimension of the array.  When using a
single index expression to index 2-D or higher data the elements of the
array are taken in column-first order (like Fortran).

   The output from indexing assumes the dimensions of the index
expression.  For example:

     a(2)       # result is a scalar
     a(1:2)     # result is a row vector
     a([1; 2])  # result is a column vector
"

Now, the last result might lead one to believe that the above result for 
a row vector is not correct.  However, the discussion clearly has 
drifted to the topic of matrices so the documentation neither confirms 
or contradicts the output for indexing a row vector.  If the result 
above is correct, then it might be good to add that to the 8.1 
documentation.
