I can only see the point of this behaviour if 'imread' actually returns
NxMx3 arrays. The way I understand the matlab documentation is that
'imread' can return a 'MxNx3' array plus a 'MxN' alpha array. If
'imread' works that way then I don't see the point of a change to
'imshow'.

But hey, I don't have that strong feelings about what the "right
solution (TM)" is -- my only fear is that I someday by accident try to
show an MxNx4 array and don't notice the fourth dimension because I
can't see it.
