This may be the most elegant solution if you have lots of memory, but
you have to ask yourself whether it's worth dedicating 40 Kbytes to
hold zeros just so you can do one aggregate assignment.

_If_ memory is a scarce resource, the loops in Ullar Kask's original
code are a better solution.  The nested loops _may_ actually execute
faster, as an extra bonus.
