In a language that has one-based indexing, can you treat a multidimensional array as one-dimensional? Or will it give you an array index out of bounds error?

That is, are there any languages that are both one-based, and will let you do that trick?

You would need it to support one-dimensional views (unless your data is just stored as one-dimensional to begin with). Certainly matlab and Julia do. Don't know of any new 1-based languages either way.
