I think I've asked for this before on this list, and I agree with you
wholeheartedly. I don't believe there's anyway to simulate the
desired feature in IDL without doing another operation.

The matrix approach doesn't always seem to be appropriate. (For
example, working on very large arrays, one wants to avoid as many
computations as possible. The matrix approach actually *compounds*
the number of computations).
