This fixes an issue in which the behavior of
MatrixTable
was inconsistent with that of other tables becausegetcolumn
(and therefore indexing) was returning copies instead of views.Technically this is breaking, even though I think it's fair to say the previous behavior was a bug, so hopefully 1.2.2 will be an acceptable tag for this.
