Research direction

The linked matrix_transpose specification is the only entry point mentioned; read its current definition and surrounding rules for array dimensionality. Resolve and document the behavior for inputs with fewer than two dimensions, then verify the specification explicitly answers both error and return-value cases.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The specification for `matrix_transpose does not specify what it does when you pass it a matrix with fewer than 2 dimensions. Do you get an error? Does it just return the array?
