Just a quick incidental comment now that Liam's answered the actual
question. I find it strange that people talk about the order in which the
arrays are stored in memory (column-major, row-major and all that stuff). To
my mind, it's not the storage order that differs between languages, it's the
*order in which you write the subscripts*.

Just my NZ$0.02 (approx US$0.008) worth.
