If the matrix is sparse, arrays may be "clunky", but are also the simplest
implementation. If the  matrix is not too big to be practically implemented
by an array, and if you can live with wasted storage (and possibly poor
performance) go with it. At least evaluate the tradeoffs.

If the matrix is not sparse, then an array is just as space efficient and
probably more time efficient than any of the normal ways of dealing with
sparse matrices.
