And, of course, it *will* matter (especially in loops) how
you access the data. Always keep in mind that internally
data is stored in memory in row order (column indices vary
faster than row indices). Loops that keep this in mind are
fast. Loops that don't keep this in mind are what IDL users
complain about. :-)
