Hello.

Is it likely or not that we see some improvements over multidimensional arrays ? I understand that in left hand sides, slices might not be permitted.
But it should be allowed to provide a proper initial value at initialization.
Imagine a matrix whose first row and first column's elements are all at zero.
To provide multidim arrays while make them so awkward, make them hardly of any use. More freedom to provide (at least) static values to given slices / easily described submatrices. Like the exemple below, or like diagonal matrices ( I know there is (was ?) an AI over a new loop array aggregate, or something. I don't have to go that far).
It Was my rant of the week. I hate being stumbling stupidly on awkward syntax points, to discover I can probably not do what I would like.
