RE: [sv-ec] question mantis 1447

Michael,

In 1800/D4, the term "multiple dimension array" is used only twice, I
think, and "multidimensional array" is used about 30 times. The meaning
is the same. The terminology should be consistent. Clearly, it is simply
because someone chose a slightly different wording for the same concept
and no one was checking for terminology consistency. I already pointed
out to the editor that the two existing uses of "multiple dimension
array", one of which is indeed the title of 7.4.5, should be changed.
After getting that fixed, let's not reintroduce the confusion.

Thanks,
Shalom
