I finally got around to filing this:

 

Although previous emails on this subject have in SV-EC, I file this
under SV-BC, because I think BC is the right place for it.

The question is whether multi-dimensional arrays should be looked at as
multi-dimensional arrays of elements or as arrays of arrays, the latter
meaning that there is no such thing as a multi-dimensional array, but
only 1-dimensional arrays, whose element type can itself be an array, so
that a multi-dimensional array is really an array of arrays.

Or maybe both, like light is a wave and a particle. I personally like
this approach, where the way you look at an MDA depends on the context.

It's important to clarify this because committee members disagree about
this and there are a lot of implications for the answer to this
question.

For some of the relevant emails, see
