The documentation of nth does indeed say "last dimension", but I
thought that was just a typo...
Given my example
(def data [[1 2] [3 4] [5 6]])
(def m (PersistentMatrix/create (int-array [1]) true))
I'd certainly expect
(nth data 1)
and
(nth m 1)
to return equivalent data structures, but that requires nth to select
along the first dimension. And that's indeed what it does at the moment.

Column-major order smells like Fortran... but there is nothing wrong
with it, of course. It's an arbitraray convention, just like row-
major order. Anyway, this shouldn't be visible to the user of the
Clojure interface except when reshaping an array.
