That description of length always catches me out as I extend my code
from one to two dimensions. length(x) actually returns the same as
max(size(x)), so there will be a point where it flips from one
dimension to another as the arrays grow.

Yes, that was a stupid brain hiccup on my part.

I should have known better as I have a preference for
row vectors and I use length all the time on those.
