With respect to array transposition, Keith was just pointing out something
to compiler implementors, I agree it is relatively unlikely that one would
do conversion between fortran style arrays and normal row major arrays, but
an OBVIOUS situation is when you are passing data between existing fortran
libraries and existing Ada libraries, and it is nice to have a simple
notation for the necessary array conversion.
