Single column from dataset returns Matrix, not Vector

[garrison]

With standard Julia arrays, requesting a column from a Matrix returns a Vector:

julia> size(rand(4, 4)[:,1])
(4,)

However, requesting a column from a dataset that represents a matrix returns a Matrix with one column.

using HDF5

h5open("/tmp/test_filename.h5", "w") do file
    file["mat"] = rand(4, 4)
    @show size(file["mat"][:,1])
end

Is this intentional?
