Agreed.  Another reason for completely junking the notion of
multi-dimensional arrays, surely.

Later today I'll add to 958 a modified proposal, specifying
that it shall be illegal to call any query function with a dimension
number N>1 if the variable in question has more than one variable-sized 
dimension among its dimensions <= N.  Would that satisfy
your concern?  Is it OK for implementers?
