Thanks. If there isn't a more elegant way (short of migrating to
hashes or a post-Cold War language ;-) then I think I can see a way of
doing it too. Luckily, I don't need to worry about nested structures.
I'm just dealing with what is essentially a 2-D matrix where the
columns have names and each element is a float, so I can afford to be
fairly braindead about this.

I'm afraid I'm a PhD student with (i) no money (ii) no time! :-) I'll
post my solution, and comments (and improvements) are of course
appreciated!
