take with axis=1 from matrix with matrix indices gives row instead of column (Trac #1307)

Original ticket http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1307 on 2009-11-28 by @thouis, assigned to unknown.

from numpy import *
version
'1.3.0.dev5934'
q = matrix(arange(9).reshape((3,3)))
take(q, matrix([[0]]), axis=0)
matrix([[0, 1, 2]])
take(q, matrix([[0]]), axis=1)
matrix([[0, 3, 6]])

Expected behavior for the last expression:

take(q, [0], axis=1)
matrix([[0],
[3],
[6]])

Sorry, forgot to quote...

>>> from numpy import *
>>> q = matrix(arange(9).reshape((3,3)))
>>> take(q, matrix([[0]]), axis=0)
matrix([[0, 1, 2]])
>>> take(q, matrix([[0]]), axis=1)
matrix([[0, 3, 6]])

Expected behavior for the last expression:
>>> take(q, [0], axis=1)
matrix([[0],
       [3],
       [6]])

Matrix does have some odd behaviors, not sure what a good way to fix it is though.
