Why does squeezing leading singleton dimensions produce inconsistent results

For example consider the following

size(squeeze(zeros([1 1 10])))

ans =

      10     1

is the transpose of

size(squeeze(zeros([1 10])))

ans =

       1    10

[James Tursa]

This behavior is documented:

"B = squeeze(A) returns an array B with the same elements as A, but with all singleton dimensions removed. A singleton dimension is any dimension for which size(A,dim) = 1. Two-dimensional arrays are unaffected by squeeze."
