corner case when initializing Series from scalar

[lodagro]

In [1]: import pandas as pd

In [2]: pd.__version__
Out[2]: '0.11.1.dev-45d298d'

In [3]: pd.Series(10)
Out[3]: 10

Ok, when setting index explicitly

In [4]: pd.Series(10, index=[0])
Out[4]:
0    10
dtype: int64

this is a current feature, but is a very unpandas like thing to do and is confusing.

I am planning on banning this in 0.12 with the refactor of series however (as this is implemented in new, which is not going to be used explicity).
