Not strictly necessary, since you can always reverse the
indices when dealing with Fortran if need be.

You would have to do that anyway when accessing the array
from C, so it's probably better to have the description
always match the C ordering.

(Makes things a bit harder for those people writing their
Python extensions in Fortran, of course. :-)
